INTRODUCTION 

In 1855 the following circular was sent to the known members of the 
Jewett family : 

Wishing to perfect and perpetuate the historical genealogy of the 
ancient Jewett Family, which emigrated from England, settled in Rowley, 
Essex County, Mafs., A. D. 1638-9, and, through the blefsing of God, has 
multiplied until its members are numbered among the citizens of every State, 
and are found successfully engaged in all the profefsions, and in every in- 
dustrial pursuit : We, the undersigned, give notice of a meeting of those who 
bear that name, and of all who are descendants of that family, to be held at 
Rowley, on the 14th day of June, A. D. 1855. 

The object of the meeting will be to give an opportunity for mutual 
conference, and joyful greetings, for renewing and strengthening the bands 
of common brotherhood, and, in particular, to adopt measures for obtaining 
such historic facts as will perfect the genealogy of the Jewett Family and 
perpetuate those facts by publication in a well printed and neatly bound 
volume. The attendance of all the descendants of the Jewett Family is 
therefore respectfully solicited, and all who receive this Circular are re- 
quested to extend the notice and the invitation to such members and rela- 
tives of the family as may be known to them. They are also requested to 
transmit, at an early date, to Dea. Joshua Jewett, of Rowley, any interesting 
genealogical or historic facts relative to the objects proposed, and it is 
confidently hoped that no one pofsefing such information will fail to fur- 
nish it for the use and purposes of the meeting.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD, By William Jewett Pabodie 

Tune, " Bonny Doon " 

As pilgrims to some sacred shrine. 

As wanderers to their father's home, 
To this, the cradle of our race. 

With glad yet reverent hearts we come. 

Two hundred years have nearly passed. 

Since first this ancient roof-tree rose, 
A shelter, in the wilderness, 

From howling winds and savages foes. 

'Twas here our fathers lived and died — 

Up from this hearth, in sweet accord, 
At morn arose the voice of prayer. 

At evening, anthems to the Lord. 

Beneath these elms, their labor done. 

They gathered oft, a cheerful throng, 
And whiled the twilight hours away. 

While peeped the frogs their evening song. 



Xll 



Inteoduction 

And oft, within, the humming of the wheel 
Made pleasant sound in summer days, 

Heard by the traveller, as he toiled, 
Along the dim and dusty ways. 

Still in the comer ticks the clock. 

That marked the hours of joy or woe, 

For those whose hearts to ashes turned 
More than a hundred years ago. 

And still is seen the old armchair. 
Where sat the sire, at close of day, 

And turned with awe the sacred page, 

Their guide through life's uncertain way. 



For they were aye a Godly race — 

Nor deem it idle boast to say, 
A deacon always graced the line, 

From 'Zekiel down to Joshua. 

Beneath the sod they slumber now, 

But yet one noble form survives, 
To show us all their spotless worth, 

The daily beauty of their lives. 

Oh, may their virtues still descend. 

While time's unwearied wing expands. 
That all at length again may meet. 

Meet in " a house not made with hands." 

OUR FAMILY PLEDGE, By Jedediah Jewett, of Portland, Me. 

Tune, " Avid Lang Syne " 

We're gathered here, a fam'ly band. 

Upon Old Rowley's shore, 
Though scattered wide throughout the land. 

We're parted now no more. 

Then here^s a hand, a Jewett's hand 

Which each "mil pledge the other. 
That aye for God and Truth we'll stand, 

And ne'er forget a brother. 

From pine-clad East and fertile West, 

We gather here to-day ; 
May this rc-union now be blest. 

And be remembered aye. 

Then here's a hand, etc. 



Introduction xiii 

Our Father's erst, with Pilgrim bands, 

Left all for which men live, 
That to their Sons, in other lands. 

Fair Freedom they might give. 

Then here's a hand, etc. 

Upon their shield they blazoned deep, 

The Lily, emblem fair; 
And for our crest, they bid us keep, 

The Eagle, bird of air. 

Then here's a hand, etc. 

Unsullied let us keep that name. 

As lily's bright array, 
And ever upward be our aim, 

With the bold bird of day. 

Then here's a hand, etc. 

It was expected that Dr. Charles Jewett, of Michigan, would furnish 
the original hymn, but not having received his, the one below has been sub- 
stituted therefor: 



ORIGINAL HYMN, By H. J. Prentiss 

Tune, " America " 

Up to this goodly land. The fiery column's glare 

Led by th' Almighty's hand Displayed Thy constant care. 

Our fathers came; Through night and storm; 

Trusting, O God, in Thee, By day the friendly cloud 

They crossed a stormy sea, Their onward pathway showed, 

Determined to be free, — With light their footsteps glowed 

In Thy great name. Beneath Thine arm. 

Their Vine they planted here. To God our thanks are due, 

In hope and Godly fear, Who brought them safely through 

And found repose; The waters wild: 

With none to make afraid, Then let our praise arise 

They sought its pleasant shade, To Him who rules the skies, 

Their fervent prayers were said, Who hears the feeble cries 

And heavenward rose. Of every child. 



xiv Introduction 

Oh, may their children be 
A worthy progeny 

Of noble sires ; 
Be Truth and Right their aim, 
And, in God's holy name. 
Keep pure their altar's flame, 

As vestal fires. 



Since the meeting held in Rowley several members of the family have 
attempti'd to compile a history and thus preserve the many valuable records 
which are fast disappearing. Among those who made notable efforts to this 
end were Dr. Joseph F. Jewett, of Granby, Conn., who died before he could 
complete the work. Dr. Frederic A. Jewett, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and 
Thomas A. Jewett, Esq., of Gardiner, Maine, who, owing to pressure of 
business, were obliged to abandon the subject. 

About fourteen years ago the Author undertook the task, and though 
the result is, perhaps, not all that could be desired, he feels, under the circum- 
stances, he has collected about all of the data obtainable at this time. 

The family of Jewett is without doubt of Norman origin, but when they 
settled in England and the origin of the name are surrounded with consider- 
able mystery. The first syllable of the name as now spelled suggests the 
question whether or not it is derived from Jew", which is a family name. The 
termination " et " or " ett " could perhaps be accounted for analogically by 
reference to such a name as Hewett, supposed to be derived from Hugh, Hew, 
etc. The name Jew or Jews does not imply that the founder of the family, 
was a Hebrew, but, as Newton supposes, from his having slain Jews in Syria 
when such deeds were considered meritorious. He and Guillian suppose that 
the name Ives was originally Jeus, which became Jues, and then, by the com- 
mon change of " I " for " J," and " U " for " V," Ives. The coat-of-arms of 
this family once bore three Jews' heads couped. The arms of the family of 
Jew and its derivatives are, however, entirely different from those of our 
famil}', and those of all the families whose name have clearly a similar origin 
with our own. In all these names the " T " seems to be one of the radical 
letters, and the uniform presence of the letter " T " seems fatal to this sup- 
posed origin. 

Bardsky in " English Surnames," concludes that " the name Jewett 
comes from the diminutive of Juliet," and cites a number of entries from the 
Rolls of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries to establish his theory. 

The "Armorial General Precede des terms du blason." Par J. B. Riestap, 
" Deuxieme Edition, etc.," gives a French family, viz., Ivatte de Boishamon- 
Bretagne, that settled in England about 1417. The coat-of-arms of this 
family was D'azur au chevron a'arg., ace, re trois quinte femlles du menw. 
The name of this family was changed to Juatte, Jouett, Jowitt, etc. The 



Introduction xv 

arms, however, of the famlhes of Jeuett and Jowitt are quite different from 
ours, but appear to be of a much later date. 

The coat-of-arms of the Jewetts of London Gales was : On a cross argent, 
five fleur-de-lis of the first. He beareth argent, on a cross of sable, five fleur- 
de-lis of the first by the name Le Neve. This was the court armor in the time 
of Henry IV. appertaining to Robert Le Neve, of Tiverskill, in the County of 
Norfolk. 

The arms of Ivat confirmed to Thomas Ivat, of London, June 27, 1628, 
are similar to ours, viz., Ivatt or Ivat, Argent, on a cross gules, five fleur-de- 
lis of the field {another, the tinctures reversed). Crest — Out of a mural 
coronet, an armed cubit arm holding in the gauntlet all pps. a fleur-de-lis or. 

The name of Jueta or Ivets occurs in the Liber Winton. This book con- 
tains the survey of the City of Winchester taken by order of King Henry I. 
between the years 1107 and 1128. From that time we find what is supposed 
to be the name in a great variety of forms. The older forms seem to have 
been Juatt, Juet, Juett, Ivet, Ivett, Jvat, Ivat, Juit, Juite, (there was a Sir 
Henry Juite, Baronet, living in Ireland in 1850), Juitt. The Latin forms 
are Juet, Jouitt, Jeuit, Jewitt, and Jewett. 

In a series of articles entitled " American Armorial Families," arranged 
by Mortimer Delano, Pursuivant of Arms, and published in 1896, he states: 
" In the following roll will be found those American families that have a well 
established right to court armor, by inheritance, grant, or otherwise." In 
this list is given : 

Jewett — Massachusetts. Gentlemen. 

" Descent: IMaximilian & Joseph Jewett from Bradford 1638 to Rowley, 
sons of Edward Jewett, of Bradford, Yorkshire, m. 1604, d. 1615 ; descent 
from Henri de Juatt 1096-9. 

" Armorial Bearings— House of Juatt, England. 

" Arms : Argent, on a cross gules, five fleur-de-lis argent. 

" Crest: An armed arm proper holding a fleur-de-lis or. All upon the 
wreathed helmet. 

" Mantling : Argent and gules.'* 

The above Henri de Juatt was a Knight of the First Crusade, 1096- 
1099. Our name frequently occurs on the records of the 13th and 14th cen- 
turies, and with greater frequency in the later records. July 5, 1486, King 
Henry VII., of England, granted to Henry Jewet certain oflices for life, 
viz., " Forrester of Windsor Forest and Parker of Sunnyng-Hill Park with- 
in Windsor Forest," but no reason is given in the grant for these honors. 

Following down to a little later date we find in Vol. XVIII. of the " Har- 
lien Society (English) Reports " : " The arms of Jewett, of Chester, Eng- 
land — Argent, on a cross Gules, five fleur-de-lis of the first, in dexter chief a 
crescent of the second." " William Jewett, of the Cittie of Chester, alder-

Edward Jewett, father of the Jewetts who first came to America, was 
born in 1580 and lived in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. 
The arms borne by him and which were brought to this country by Deacon 
Maximilian and Joseph Jewett, and which they were so careful to preserve 
on the records here is thus described on old records in both France and Eng- 
land : " He hcareth. Gules, on a cross argent. Five fleur-de-lis of the first. 
Crest, an eagle's Neck between two Wings displayed argent, by the name 
Jewett:' 

This is the coat-of-arms recognized by the Viscount de Fronsac, Chan- 
cellor of the Aryan Order of St. George in 1891, in an article written by him 
and with which he gives a fine illustration and states, " these are the arms of 
the Jewetts of Maine and Texas." 

As stated above, our crest is " an eagle's Neck between two Wings.** 
The motto is " Toujours le meme." 

Much information may sometimes be afforded in genealogical research 
by the coat-of-arms. It will be seen on comparing the arms of the Jewetts 
of Chester, arms of Ivat, arms of Jewetts of London Gales, and of the 
" House of Juatt," that they are very similar to our own, and that all evi- 
dence points to the view that the Jewetts descend from the " House of Juatt, 
of England," and in the opinion of the Author from Henri de Juatt, the 
knight of the First Crusade. It is true there is a difference in the crest, but 
this is not a part of a coat-of-arms. The crest is an adjunct to the coat-of- 
arms, but is often carelessly spoken of as forming part of it. It is often a 
phiy upon one's name, or is suggested by the name. Thus the crest of the 
Harts may be the animal of that name or a heart. 

Edward Jewett, father of Deacon Maximilian and Joseph Jewett, lived 
in Bradford, England, where he was a clothier. By clothier it is not to be 
understood that he sold clothes, but was a maker or manufacturer of cloths. 
In those days, in England, the designation clothier was used only in the sense 
of the merchant manufacturer of woolen cloth who had in his employ a larger 
or smaller number of families engaged in the various manual employments 
connected therewith. 

Edward Jewett lived long before the days of factories. In his time the 



Introduction xvii 

making of cloth was carried on in Yorkshire in private houses, the several 
parts of the process being conducted by different members of the family 
according to their age and sex. The clothiers of Yorkshire were considered 
among the most industrious and frugal people of the kingdom. They were 
of necessity capitalists. They employed weavers, fullers, etc., and furnished 
them with material. In part they were accounted among the millionaires of 
England. Edward Jewett seems to have been a man of property, and to have 
left goodly portions to his children. The twenty families that accompanied 
Mr. Rogers to New England are described by Winthrop, " most of them of 
good estate." From the fact that the families of clothiers were trained from 
early life to knowledge of the different parts of the operation of making 
cloths, we may infer that the two sons of Edward Jewett who settled here 
were also clothiers. This is confirmed by the well-known fact as stated by 
Johnson in his " Wonder Working Providence," " that the settlers of Rowley 
were the first people that set upon making cloth in this Western World." He 
adds that many of them had been clothiers in England. 

Maximilian and Joseph Jewett did not come to this country as adventur- 
ers. They were men of respectability, " of good estate," and could probably 
have no hopes of improving their worldly condition by emigration. They were 
lovers of liberty, and men of distinct and well-marked religious views. They 
were non-conformists. They had too sturdy an independence, as well as too 
strong a sense of duty, to abandon what they held a truth even in the midst 
of the bitterest persecution. For this reason they left their homes and sought 
in the wilds of America a resting place from oppression, a spot where they 
and their children might enjoy freedom to worship God. They were men of 
thought and character. 

The period at which they emigrated to America was one of the darkest 
for the Puritans. Many ministers had been silenced or suspended. Fines and 
the pillory, mutilation and torture, were remorselessly resorted to by the 
friends of Archbishop Laud to compel conformity to the ceremonies of the 
Established Church. The ministers of Charles the First were full of hope that 
they should exterminate the pestilent heresy from the land. 

Hunted down by tyranny, refused even the liberty of flight, the Puritans 
were almost in despair. All who could leave, fled, most of them to America. 
The same year in which our fathers emigrated, eight ships preparing to sail 
for this country were by order of the Privy Council detained in the Thames. 

The persecution under Archbishop Laud seems to have fallen with pecu- 
liar weight upon the clothiers. This may have been owing to the fact that 
many of the clothiers were descendants of Dutch and French Protestants. 
Mr. Pyer in enumerating the petition for redress of grievances to Parlement 
in 1640-41 instances under the head of trade, " Divers Clothiers having been 
forced away who had set up their manufacturs abroad to the great hurt of 
the kingdom." Smith, in the history of wool, cites the rigor of Archbishop 
Laud's execution of the acts of conformity as the cause which drove many 
clothiers out of the kingdom. 



xviii IxTRoni'CTiox 

In the yeiir 1()!J8 there came from England to the new world, in all, 
twenty ships and at least three thousand persons. Among them were our 
ancestors, who sailed from Hull in the ship John of London, with about 
twenty other Puritans and their families (some sixty persons in all), under 
the leadership of Ezekiel Rogers, and landed in Boston about the first of 
December, 1638. 

The Kev. E/ekiel Rogers, a learned and eloquent minister of Rowley, 
England, having been suspended for non-conformity, collected from his 
hearers and his other Yorkshire friends this little company, and with them 
came to America. It is stated that so great was the respect for Mr. Rogers 
that though he was suspended from the active duties of his office he was 
allowed to enjoy the profits of his living for two years afterwards, and per- 
mitted to name a substitute who was afterwards himself suspended for refus- 
ing to read the sentence against his predecessor. These two years we may 
suppose were employed by Mr. Rogers in gathering his future band of 
emigrants. His project seems to have excited considerable attention among 
the nobility and gentry. He states that he felt himself under obligations, 
for the sake of many persons of high rank, to make choice of a good location 
here. 

Some of his company were doubtless his former parishioners, but the 
Jewetts lived in Bradford, one hundred miles from Rowley. Mr. Rogers may 
have gone to Bradford for the purpose of obtaining accessions to his com- 
pany, or our ancestors may have heard of the intentions of the great minister 
and sought him out. 

Upon their arrival in Boston their first act illustrates their dignity and 
courtesy as well as their piety. John Williams states in his " History of New 
England," that " Ezekiel Rogers, son of Richard Rogers, of Weathersfield, 
in Essex, a woi'thy son of so worthy a father, lying at Boston with some who 
came out of Yorkshire with him, where he had been a painful preacher many 
years, being desirous to partake in the Lord's Supper with the church of 
Boston, did first impart his desire to the elders, and having given them satis- 
faction, they acquainted the church with it ; and before the sacrament, being 
called forth by the elders, he spoke to this effect, viz., that he and his company 
(viz., divers families who came over with him) had of a good time, withdrawn 
themselves from the church connnunion of England, and that for many cor- 
ruptions which were among them. But first he desired, that he might not be 
mistaken, as if he did condemn all there; for he did acknowledge a special 
presence of God there in three things: 1st in the soundness of doctrine in all 
fundamental truths; 2nd in the excellency of ministerial gifts; 3rd in the 
blessing upon the same, for the work of conversion and for the power of reli- 
gion, in all which there appeared more, &c., in England than in all the known 
world besides. Yet there are such corruptions, as, since God let them see some 
light therein, they could not, with safe conscience, join any longer with 
them. The first, is their national church ; second, their hierarchy, wholly anti- 



Introduction . xix 

christian ; third, their dead service ; fourth, their receiving (nay compelHng) 
all to partake of the seals ; fifth, their abuse of excommunication, wherein 
they enwrap many a godly minister, by causing him to pronounce their sen- 
tences, &c., they not knowing that the fear of the excommunication lies in 
that. Hereupon they bewailed before the Lord their sinful partaking so long 
in those corruptions, and entered a covenant together, to walk together in 
all the ordinances &c." 

Winthrop also states : " A plantation was begun between Ipswich and 
Newbury. The occasion was this : Mr. Eaton and Mr. Davenport having 
determined to sit down at Quinipiack, there came over one Mr. Ezekiel Rogers, 
of Weathersfield in England, and with him some twenty godly men, and most 
of them of good estate. They laboured by all means to draw him with them 
to Quinipiack. He consulted with the elders of the bay, by their advice, he 
and his people took that place by Ipswich." 

Thus was the town of Rowley, Massachusetts, founded and settled by 
Mr. Rogers and his hardy band of Puritans, of which Maximilian and Joseph 
Jewett were prominent members. In 1639, " Being settled in Rowley, they 
renewed their church covenant, and their call to Mr. Rogers to the office of 
pastor, according to the course of other churches." 

The town was incorporated " 1639 ; 4 day of the 7th month, ordered that 
Mr. Ezekiel Rogers' Plantation shall be called Rowley." The place was 
named in honor of Mr. Rogers, he having been the minister in Rowley, Eng- 
land, a number of years. 

The history of our family, quiet and unpretending as it has alwaj^s been, 
is associated with the most stirring and impressive events of modem times. 
Our ancestors were actors in the most important scenes of the moving pan- 
orama of human progress. To the English Puritans — their enemies them- 
selves being the judges — are to be attributed the strongest steps in the 
march of freedom. The great principles of civil and religious liberty were 
first fully developed and established by their efforts and sacrifices. The 
colonization of this country by such men first gave an assured resting place 
for these principles upon earth, and when viewed in all its bearings and con- 
sequences can be said to have done more for the progress of our race in the 
paths of true civilization than any and all other assignable human causes. 

All of the Jewetts of this country spring from the common ancestor with 
the exception of four families who have come from England since 1800, and 
these are undoubtedly of the same family. This work includes these families.

3 DEACON MAXIMILIAN JEWETT (Edward' ), was born in 
Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England; baptized there Oct. 4«th, 
1607. He with his wife Ann, and his brother Joseph sailed from Hull, Eng- 
land in 1638 in the ship John, with a colony under the leadership of Rev. 
Ezekiel Rogers. They arrived at Boston about the first of December, 1638, 
spent the winter in Salem, and in the spring of 1639 founded the town of 
Rowley, Mass. 

He was admitted freeman May 13, 1640. " Was chosen Deacon of the

hundred and twenty years a descendant of him or his younger brother, a fellow 
passenger has been in that office or minister, the whole time except eight

In 1658 he had land granted him in Merrimac, then a part of Rowley. 
In 1673 Merrimac was incorporated as Bradford. 

We also find the following in the town records of Rowley: 

" Towne Charges for the yeare 1654 for Maxy Jewet deputyship 
12-3-0." 

" A bill of ye Charges of ye towne in ye yeer 1665. Imprimis for

town. He was representative to the General Court in 1641; 1642; 1643;

He was overseer of the will of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, signed April 17, 
1660, and " In the year 1665, five years after the death of Rev. Ezekiel 
Rogers, his relative Ezekiel Rogers, son of the Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, of 
Ipswich, brought an action against the widow of his uncle which occasioned 
the following: The testimony of Maximilian Jewett saith that I heard our 
Mr. Rogers express himself very much dissatisfied with the carriage of 
Ezekiel Rogers, in particularly his familiarity with John Smith, his servent, 
the Scotchman, & that in some times going behind the meeting house, which 
bred fears & jealousies in his mind. He also objected to him because he wore 
long haire." He was a clothier and with his brother Joseph was about the 
first, if not the first, to manufacture woolen cloth in America. 

" Ann the wife of Maximillian Jewet buried November ye ninth day 
1667." (Ch. R.) He married (2d) Aug. 30, 1671, Elinor Boynton, widow 
of John Boynton. She was a Miss Pell, of Boston. " Maximylian Jewit and 
Ellinor Boynton married August the thirty day, 1671." (Ch. R.) 

" Maximelian Jewit died October ye Ninetenth day 1684." (Rowley 
Ch. R.) 

His widow married (3d) in Ipswich, Mass., June 1, 1686, Daniel Warner, 
Sr., of Ipswich, and as his widow died in Rowley, Aug. 5, 1689. 

His last will is filed in the Clerk of the Courts' office at Salem, Mass., 
among the Essex County Papers, Vol. XLII., page 46. The following is a 
true copy: 

" In the name of God, Amen. I Maxemillian Jewett of Rowley in the 
County of Essex in New England Doe make this my last will & Testament

Joseph Jewett, with his wife Mary, and one or two children, came to

was representative to the General Court in 1651, 1652, 1653, 1654, and 1660, 
and was one of the two stewards for each of these sessions.

'' ]\Iarch, 1658 — It was Agreed and voted at a General and legall townc 
nieetinge that mr Jewet should have a thousand Acres of land in the necke, 
beyond the Hazeltines, and that he is to have forty acres of meadow which is 
to be laide out as conveniently as can be in the townes land whitch forty Acres 
of meadow is to be for part of the thousand in the necke, in exchange for 
three thousand Acres of land which is to be laide out as conveniently as can 
be for the towne of Rowley in the village land, about the bald hills." 

" According unto the grant of the towne ther in laid out unto mr Joseph 
Jewett Nine hundred and Sixty Acres of upland in that necke of land beyond 
the hesseltines bounded by a Runell of watter that falls into merrimack River 
at the east end and soe from the River it Runeth a westerly line unto a white 
oak Tree not very fure distant from the line betwene Andover and the towne

In the History of Boxford, Mass., we find the following: " Before the 
land in the village was laid out Abraham Redington, Robert Stiles, Joseph 
Bixby, John Cummings, William Foster and John Peabody, six of the early 
settlers, bought of Joseph Jewett, of Rowley, 3000 acres of the Village land. 
The right to this land was sold by Zacheus Gould to Joseph Jewett for the 
benefit of such as employed him to make the purchase, for which Jewett paid 
ninety pounds. Jewett by agreement with the town received in exchange 960 
acres in the neck by Merrimack river, and 40 acres of meadow in three pieces 
in the village lands."

Joseph Jewett lived in Rowle}^ was made freeman July 9, 1684, and was 
Representative to the General Court for the years 1718 and 1719. He was 
active in town affairs and was a man of energy and character. He was a 
soldier in King Philip's War, serving first in Capt. Joseph Gardiner's Co. (of 
Salem), who was killed in this war, and later in Major Appleton's Co. Was in 
the list of Feb. 29, 1675-6. He was in the Narragansett Campaign and for 
his services received £2. 14s. and a grant of land. The following is an ac- 
count of the principal battle of this Campaign, in which he participated, 
(from the " New England Hist, and Gen. Reg.") : " After the disastrous 
campaign of the Autumn of 1675 in the Western part of the Colony of Mas- 
sachusetts, the hostile Indians retreated toward the south and to winter 
quarters amongst the Narragansetts. They erected a fort on an elevation of 
land (a sort of island) of four or five acres surrounded by swampy land. 
There is no monument to mark this site of one of the most brilliant victories 
in American warfare. 

" It was planned by those in authority to strike a decisive blow to the 
Indians in their winter quarters and on Dec. 9th, 1675 the Massachusetts 
forces consisting of six companies of foot under Capt's. Mosley, Gardiner, 
Davenport, Oliver and Johnson, and a troop of horse under Capt. Prentice 
mustered on Dedham Plains under command of Major Appleton, who himself 
led the first company. They were joined by the Plymouth forces, two com- 
panies under Major William Bradford and Capt. John Gorham. The quota 
of Plymouth Colony was one hundred and twenty men. 

" To the soldiers a proclamation was made at this time on the part of 
the Massachusetts Council, ' that if they played the man, took the Fort, & 
Drove the Enemy out of Narrangansett Country, which was their great Seat, 
that they should have a gratuity in land besides their wages.' General Win- 
slow was in command and on the same afternoon they marched twenty-seven 
miles to Woodcock's Garrison, now Attleboro. In the evening of Friday, 
Dec. 10th they arrived at Seekouk where vessels of supplies were in wait- 
ing . . . Capt. Mosley and his company sailed direct from here to the 
garrison-house at Wickford. The rest of the force ' ferried over the water 
to Providence ' and probably formed a junction with the main part of the 
Plymouth Regiment at Providence on Saturday, Dec. 11th. In the evening 
of Sunday, Dec. 12, the whole body advanced ' from Mr. Carpenter's, 
crossed the Pautuxet River,' now Warwick, R. I. ; but from the unskilfulness 
of their Warwick scouts . . . their purpose of capturing Pomham and his 
people wasi. defeated, and after a whole night spent in weary marching about, 
they arrived at Mr. Smith's garrison-house at Wickford on the 13th, and 
found their vessels from Seekouk already arrived. ... On the 14th they 
went out through the country to the westward and burned the town of the 



26 Jewett Genealogy 

Sachem ' Ahmus,' ... up to the 15th they had captured or killed, in all 
fifty persons and had prisoners in hand numbering seventy-five. 

" Friday, Dec. 17th came news of the arrival of the Connecticut regi- 
ment at Pettisquamscott. Our Army seems to have been disposing of the 
captives and preparing for the march. Forty-seven of the captives were sold 
to Capt. Davenport on Saturday, Dec. 18. 

" The General, leaving a small garrison at Wickford pushed his Anny 
forward to Pittisquamscott, and about five p. m. joined the Connecticut troops 
consisting of about three hundred English and one hundred and fifty Mo- 
hegan Indians. In a severe snow-storm, the whole force, about one thousand 
men, encamped in the open field through that bitter cold night. Sunday, Dec. 
19th before daybreak, the whole force marched away towards the enemy's 
great rendezvous. 

" About one o'clock, p. m., the Army came upon the enemy at the edge 
of the swamp, in the midst of which the Indian fortress was built, the Mass- 
achusetts Regiment leading the march, and immediately opened fire upon them 
— thus at the beginning gaining the important advantage of the first fire, 
which the Indians had almost always gained from ambush, as they doubtless 
purposed now. The Indians returned the fire with an ineff^ectual volley, and 
then fled into the swamp closely pursued by the foremost companies, who did' 
not wait for the word of command, or stand much upon the ' order of their 
going,' until they reached the fortification within which the Indians hastily 
betook themselves. This fort was on an island of some five or six acres in the 
midst of a cedar swamp, which was impassable except to the Indians by their 
accustomed paths, and was now made passable only by the severe cold of the 
previous day and night. It is probable that the Indians depended chiefly 
upon the swamp to protect them, though their defences are described as hav- 
ing been of considerable strength. A writer says of their fort ' the Indians 
had built a kind of Fort, being palisaded round, and within that a clay wall, 
as also felled down abundance of Trees to lay quite round the said Fort, but 
they had not quite finished the said work.' At the comers and exposed posi- 
tions, rude block-houses and flankers had been built, from which a raking fire 
could be poured upon any attacking force. . . . The fight had now raged 
for nearly three hours with dreadful carnage in proportion to the numbers 
engaged, when finally an entrance was made into the Fort and the Indians fled 
to the woods. . . . When now the fortress and all its contents were burning, 
and destruction assured, our soldiers hastily gathered their wounded and as 
many as possible of their dead, and formed their shattered column for the 
long and weary march back to Wickford. 

" Of the details of the march to Wickford very little is known, through a 
bitter cold winter's night, in a blinding snow-storm carrying two hundred 
and ten of their wounded and dead, these soldiers, who had marched from 
dawn till high noon, had engaged in a desperate life and death struggle from 
noon till sunset, now plodded sturdily back to their quarters of the day before, 
through deepening snows and over unbroken roads, they reached their quar- 



Third Generation 27 

ters at two o'clock in the morning. Their dead numbered sixty-eight and 
wounded one hundred and fifty. Eight of the dead were left in the fort, 
twelve died when they started back to Wickford, twenty-one died on the 
march, and before the next day, Monday, Dec. 20, they buried thirty-four 
in one grave and six more within two days. 

" The grave of the forty buried at Wickford was marked by a tree called 
the ' grave apple tree ' which was blowed down in 1810. The wounded were 
sent in vessels to Rhode Island. 

" The Indian force amounted to about five thousand. Of this number, 
Indian prisoners reported their loss as seven hundred killed, besides the many 
wounded and captured." 

Joseph Jewett died in Rowley Oct. 29, 1735. The church record by 
Rev. Jedediah Jewett is as follows : " 1735 My Grandfather Joseph Jewett, 
in the 81st. year of his age, Oct. 29."

He lived some time in Lynn before joining the Rowley Church as shown

cured his dismission from Lynn Church av^^ he had ioyned years since when 
he lived Avith his uncle Purchas at the Ironworks." 

He was made freeman at Lynn, April 29, 1668, and in 1667 had land laid 
out to him in Hog Island marsh, Rowley. " He settled in Ipswich, Mass., on 
a farm west of his brothers Jeremiah and divided from it by the street. He 
was well educated and very prominent in the affairs of Essex County: most 
of the wills and deeds of his townsmen from 1675 to the time of his death were 
drawn by him." (Essex Inst. Hist. Col.)

" Revolution May 9, 1689, the bloodless over throw of Andress govern- 
ment having been affected on the 18ult. Rev. John Wise and Nehemiah 
Jewett meet with other Representatives in Boston to consult with the Council 
about public affairs of the Colony." (Gage.) 

" He was on a committee to compensate individuals who were damaged 
by prosecution to witchcraft or the heirs of such among these individuals who 
had died." (Gage.) 

Was prominent in the Church, served as Elder many years, and often 
acted as advisor in matters relating to its affairs, one instance of which was 
(From " N. E. H. and G. R.") : " Divers of the Brethren of the Church at 
Salem Village being greivously offended by reason of the (in their estima- 
tion) unwarrantable actings of their Pastor Mr. Parris, in the matter of 
Witchcraft, " do therefore habitually absent themselves from Public Wor- 
ship," and from Communion at the Lord's Table," notwithstanding the en- 
deavors of the Pastor and the Church to enforce their attendance thereupon. 
The grounds of their dissatisfaction are these: 

" 1 — The distracting and disturbing tumults and noises made by the 
persons under Diabolical power and delusions, preventing, sometimes their 
hearing and understanding and profiting by the word preached. 

" 2 — Their apprehensions of danger of themselves being accused as the 
Devils instruments to molest and afflict the persons complaining ; they seeing 
those whom they had reason to esteem better than themselves thus accused, 
blemished, and of lives bereaved. 

" 3 — The declared and published principle of their Pastor, and his fre- 
quent and positive preaching of the same, with respect to the dark and dismal 
mysteries of working amongst them, and their molestation from the invisible 
world ; his easy and strong faith and belief of the affirmations and accusations 
made by those they call the afflicted ; his approving and practising unwar- 
rantable methods for discovering what he was desirous to know referring to 
the bewitched or possessed persons, as bringing some to others, and by and 
from them pretending to inform himself and others who were the Devil's in- 
struments to afflict the sick and pained ; and his not rendering to the world 
a fair, if true account of what he wrote on examination of the afflicted. 

" 4 — His unsafe and unaccountable oath given by him against sundry 
of the accused and his zeal in seeking out the suspected, insomuch that one 
of the disaffected brethren (John Tarbell by name) tells him to his face that 
he has been " the great persecutor, and that had it not been for him his 
mother's nurse might have been still living, and so freed from execution. 

" 5 — His persisting in these principles and justifying his practices, 
though others, wise and learned, who were as forward as himself, are sorry 
for what they have done, and see their error therein." 

Elders of four churches were requested to decide the trouble; the 
churches selected were North Boston, Rowley, Maiden, and Weymouth ; two 
other churches in Boston were added, viz., The Old Church and the Third 
Church, 



32 Jewett Genealogtj 

" April 3, 1695.— The Council Meets at Salem Village (Church of Mai- 
den being absent on account of sickness of the wife of the Rev. Elder thereof) 
who, after an examination of the matters in difference, " unanimously de- 
clare and advise as followeth: " 

« I_Wee judge. That albeit in y^ Late and y® Dark Time of y® con- 
fusions wherein Satan had obtained a more than ordinary Hberty to the 
sifting of this Plantation, there were sundry unwarrantable and uncomfort- 
able steps taken by Mr. Samuel Parris y® pastor of y® Church in Salem Vil- 
lage, then under y® hurrying Distractions of amazing Afflictions, yet the 
said Mr. Parris, by y® Good Hand of God brought unto a better sense of 
things hath so fully expressed it, that a Christian charitie may and should 
receive satisfaction therewith: (Note — " In his Meditations for Peace" read 
before the whole Congregation on Sabbath day, Nov. 18, 1694, and again be- 
fore the Church and dissenting brethren Nov. 26th., in this paper the Pastor 
expresses his regrets for any errors of which he may have been guilty, ' And 
by all,' says he ' I do humbly own this day before the Lord and his people, y* 
God has been righteously spitting in my face.) 

" II — Inasmuch as diverse Christian Brethren in the Church of Salem 
Village have been offended at Mr. Parris for his conduct in the time of ye 
difficulties and calamities which have distressed them, wee now advise them 
charitably to accept the satisfaction which he hath tendered, in his Christian 
acknowledgements of the errors committed. Yea, to endeavour as far as 'tis 
possible, y® fullest reconciliation of their minds unto communion w*^ him, in 
y® whole exercise of his ministry, and with the rest of the Church. 

" III — Considering y® extreme trials and troubles which the dissatis- 
fied brethren in y® Church of Salem Village have undergone, in the day of 
sore temtation wh°^ hath been upon them, wee cannot but advise y® Church to 
treat them w*^ bowels of much compassion: instead of all more critical or 
rigorous proceedings against them for the infirmities by them in such an 
heart-breaking day. And, if after a patient waiting for it, the said brethren 
cannot so far overcome y® uneasiness of their spirits, in y® remembrance of 
ye disasters that have happened, as to sit under his ministry, we advise y® 
Church, with all tenderness, to grant them a dismission unto any other So- 
ciety of the Faithful, whereunto they may desire to be dismissed. 

" IV — Mr. Parris, having as we understand, w*^ much Fidelitie and In- 
tegritie Acquitted himself in y® main course of his Ministry, since he hath 
been Pastor to y® Church in Salem Village, about his first call whereunto wee 
look upon all contestations now to be both unreasonable and unseasonable; 
and our Lord having made him a blessing unto the souls of not a few, both 
old and young in this place, wee Advise that He be accordingly Respected, 
Honoured and Supported, with all the Regards that are due to a painful 
minister of y® Gospele. 

" V — Having observed that there is in Salem- Village a spirit full of con- 
tentions and Animoeities, too sadly verrifying y*^ Blemish wh*^'^ hath hereto 
fore lian upon them ; and y* some complaints brought ags* Mr. Parris have 



I 



Thied Generation S3 

been either causeless and groundless, or unduly aggravated; wee do, in y*^ 
Name and Fear of y^ Lord, solemnly warn them to consider, whether, if they 
continue to Devour One Another, it will not be bitterness in y^ Latter-End ; 
and Beware lest y^ Lord be provoked thereby utterly to deprive them of those 
w'^^ they should account their precious and pleasant things, and abandon 
them to all y^ Desolations of a People that sin away the Mercies of the 
Gospele. 

" VI — If y* Distempers in Salem- Village should be (w'^'^ God forbid) so 
Incurable, y* Mr. Parris, after all, find y* he cannot, w*-** any comfort and 
service, continue in his present station, his Removall from thence will not 
expose him unto any hard character w*^ us, nor, we hope, w*^*^ y*^ rest of y^ 
People of God, among whom wee live.

127 EZEKIEL JEWETT (Thomas"', EzekieP, MaximiHan% Ed- 
ward'), was born in Rowley, Mass., Jan. 12, 1692-3. He married in New- 
bury, Mass., Jan. 9, 1718, Martha Thurston, daughter of Daniel and Mary 
(Dresser) Thurston, of Newbury. She was born Nov. 27, 1699, and died in 
Boxford, Mass., Sept. 7, 1780. 

He came into possession of his father's farm in Boxford and there lived 
and raised his large family. It seems he owned lands in other places. 
From old deeds in possession of his descendants, and from the records, it 
appears that he owned several tracts in Rindge, N. H., where some of his 
children later made their homes. In the History of Winchendon, Mass., 
we find "March 16, 1764, Ezekiel Jewett enters his claim for one of the 
first settlers." He was active in settling Boxford and his name often ap- 
pears on the old records of that town, i. e., " Committee for fixing town line 
headed by Ezecal Jueat." " The town was enlarged by land being pur- 
chased by certain men, among whom was Ezekiel Jewett," etc. 

He was a soldier in the Indian and French wars. 

" Mr. Jewett died in the fall of 1775 and four years later his heirs 
sold to Deacon James Chute, of Rowley, who came into possession upon the 
widow's death. Deacon Chute was connected with the family, his wife's 
sister having married Rev. David Jewett, one of the heirs." (Blodgette.) 
" His will dated March 31, 1775, proved Nov. 7, 1775, mentions: himself as 
of Boxford; wife Martha; sons Ezekiel, Stephen, Jonathan, Rev. David; 
daughters Martha Brown (wife of John Brown of Monson) and her chil- 
dren (unnamed) ; Hannah Wood's children ; Hepzibah Chaplin, wife of 
John Chaplin ; Sarah Hale ; Lydia wife of Elkanan Winchester (of Brook- 
line) ; four children of eldest son Thomas, deceased — viz., Daniel; Hannah 
Snow; Sarah Poor and Enoch; trusty friend Joseph Hale junior of Box- 
ford to be executor. His widow Martha's will mentions same children."

In connection with the above grant of land to Rev. Mr. Jewett I append 
the following letter, which not only shows one of the many perils our early 
forefathers were exposed to, but also his narrow escape from capture by 
the Indians: 

Montreal, Oct. 19, 1754. 

" Rev. Sir — The reason of my directing these lines to you is, because 
it seems most likely that they will sooner arrive to the hands of a person 
of your note than to any body else. Before I proceed, I should give you 
a short description of my captivity. That day. Sir, in August last (the 
15th) that you left my house at Contoocook, I was taken by the Indians, 
and by them carried to St. Francois, where we arrived in thirteen days, and 
after I had been with them eight weeks, they sold me to a French gentle- 
man for 300 livers, which sum must be paid before I can be free — which 
looks somewhat difficult to me. But I hope that I have some friends in 
Rowley that will contribute part of that sum for my relief; and I shall 
take it as a favor of you if you will move a contribution in your parish. 
There will be no difficulty in my redemption if the money be paid, and there 
is no difficulty in coming at any time in the year. In the winter people 
pass on the ice all the way to Albany, excepting a few miles. 

" Inform the people at Contoocook, that Nelson and his wife are sold 
to a French minister near Quebeck, and his boy in this town, and his 
eldest girl is with the Indians; their youngest child, I believe, died at St.; 
Francois a month ago. Samuel Scribner, who was taken at Bakerstown 
when I was, I hear is sold to the French at Chambly, about 12 miles from 
this place; and Robert Barber, taken at the same place, sold to a French- 
man about a mile from St. Francois. They all desire release. 

" I can write no more at present, only to ask an interest in your 
prayers, and beg leave to subscribe myself

The hand was raised, the pledge was given, 
One monarch to obey, one creed to own, 
: That monarch, God; that creed. His word alone.

In life, in death, with him to seal 
Her kindred love, her kindred zeal.

Here rest the great and good 

here they repose 
after their generous toil. 

A sacred band, 
they take their sleep together. 

Twine gratitude, a wreath for them 
More deathless than the diadem. 
Who, to life's noblest end, 
Gave up life's noblest powers, 
And bade the legacy descend 
Down, down to us and ours.

Fifth Generation 87 

He was selectman of Hollis 1766, and became deacon of the Hollis 
Church in 1770. During the Revohition he was active in town affairs and 
served on various committees. " At a town meeting of HolHs held Nov. 7, 
1774, Deacon Stephen Jewett was appointed one of the delegates to Hills- 
borough County Congress at Amherst, which was held five months before 
the battle of Lexington. This is the first allusion to the existing political 
troubles and forthcoming conflict" (in Holhs). (Hist, of HoHis.) 

" Dea. Stephen Jewett and Dea. Enoch Noyes were selected at a special 
town meeting April 3, 1775, as delegates to a second County Congress at 
Amherst, " to see what method should 'be taken to raise money for the Con- 
tinental Congress at Philadelphia." (Hist, of HolHs.) 

He was on the Lexington Alarm List and served in the expedition to 
Ticonderoga under Capt. Emerson, 1776. 

Extract of a letter sent by his grandson Stephen Jewett to Deacon 
Joshua Jewett, June 5, 1856: 

Speaking of Deacon Stephen Jewett he says : " Naturally he pos- 
sessed far more than ordinary amiableness of mind and disposition, and 
added to this, he was probably, carefully instructed from his childhood up 
in the way he should go. For according to history he publicly professed 
faith in Christ at the early age of fifteen years. At some time it was deter- 
mined by his friends or himself or all together more probably that he should 
take a college course and he was accordingly fitted to enter college, but his 
health had become so impaired that he was obliged to relinquish his studies 
and abandon the contemplated course. He had in view undoubtedly in 
obtaining a thorough education to become a preacher; this I infer from 
the character of the man in after life as altogether probable; but have no 
recollection of ever hearing the subject spoken of. In due time he turned 
his attention to agriculture and emigrated from Rowley to Hollis, N. H., 
and about the commencement of 1752 married widow Hannah Cummings 
who had five children and I suppose he went on to her farm upon what 
conditions I know not, and aided in the training up of those children in 
connection with five more borii to him by his wife. I may be permitted 
here to digress somewhat and say something particularly of this grand- 
mother. Originally she was Hannah Farwell of Dunstable, N. H. She 

married Cummings of Hollis and they settled on the farm alluded to ; 

a new country indeed then and five children were here born to them. 

" This grandmother possessed strong mental powers of mind, was firm 
and inflexible, but a devoted, pious woman, and her precepts and example 
went far in forming the Christian character of all of her ten children, five 
by each husband. The last five by my grandfather were Stephen, Rebecca, 
Noah, Jonathan and Lois. These all lived to marry and bring up famihes 
except Lois, who died at the age of about thirty, and all became pious in 
early life. That these ten children should all become pious in the morning 
of life tells favorably of the training they received at home while under their 
parents. My grandfather was rather reserved in his general character 



gg Jewett Genealogy 

and by no means a public man. As a private Christian he greatly excelled 
and here was his grand forte. He was a Deacon in the church of which 
he and his wife were members a long series of years and vacated the office only 
at his death. My grandmother died December 10, 1793, and at about this 
time he broke up housekeeping and became a resident of my father's family, 
where he remained until his death May 23, 1803. After becoming a member 
of his son's family, they, the father and son, determined that they should 
lead alternately in morning and evening devotions of the family and this 
arrangement was strictly adhered to, both being present— variations being 
occasionally made according to existing exigencies. I left my father's resi- 
dence February , 1799, and took up my residence in my father's oldest 

brother's family, Dea. Noah Jewett, then of Cornish, Dist. of Maine. 
Early in May, 1803, my father wrote his brother, Dea. Noah, and my- 
self, then neighbors, that his father lay at the point of death, had continued 
beyond the expectations of all his friends there ; was at times a great suf- 
ferer, but it was possible we might find him living if we could come on forth- 
with. 

" We received the communication and was on our way with the least pos- 
sible delay and we found our almost dearest friend alive, but he could not 
speak at the time we arrived, only with almost inaudible whispers. He had 
just passed through one of his extremely distressing spasms. God seemed 
to be his all and all. What I had particularly in view in communicating the 
circumstances in connection with the closing days of our greatly endeared 
friend was to show the strong confidence and faith he had in the religion of 
Jesus Christ. Early after our arrival, when he had sufficiently recovered to 
express his feelings, he raised his hands and exclaimed, ' I bless God for 
that religion which I professed at the age of fifteen, which has been my 
support all along through life and is now my only support in these my 
extreme suffering." What more convincing proof could have been given 
of the stern reality of the Christian religion ? "

228 CAPTAIN CALEB JEWETT (Eleazer"-, Jeremiah'% Joseph*, 
Edward'), was born in Norwich, Conn., June 25, 1710. He married in 
Scotland, Windham Co., Conn., Feb. 3, 1735-6, Rebekah Cook, daughter of 
Samuel and Lerh (Ripley) Cook. They settled in Sharon, Conn., where 
she died July 15, 1764. 

" July — and in the after part of y® 15 Day Capt. Jewets wife Departed 
this life and was .buried on the 16 Day and mr Smith preached a Sarmon att 
the meting hous — & his text was in Deuteronomy : 32 chapter and 29 vars : 
o that they were wise that they understood this that thay would Consider 
their latter end. and according to my Judgment there was : 300 parsons or 
more att her Grave." (Account book of John Gay, of Sharon, 1764.) 

Capt. Jewett married (2d) at Scotland, Windham Co., May 26, 1766, 
Mrs. Faith Brewer. 

He was one of the first settlers of Sharon, Conn., was Selectman of tb 
town twelve years and member of the Colonial Legislature eleven sessions. 
There seems to be great confusion regarding the war record of Captain 
Jewett. He was called Captain before 1764, and may have been Captain 
of the Minute-men of Sharon, but the Caleb Jewett who was captured at 
" The Cedars " also enhsted April 1, 1782, four years after the death of 
Capt. Jewett, and was, probably, his son Caleb. 

Capt. Jewett died in Sharon Jan. 18, 1778. The epitaph on his grave- 
stone is as follows : 

" Let not the dead forgotten lie 
Lest we forget that we must die."

Mr. Jewett, Pastor," " My wife Patience, was recommended from the ' 
church in Salem, Mr. Fisk, Pastor." 

The tradition is, that he became engaged to Miss PhilHps while he was ■ 
a student of theology; that he was very ill and she, being a member of the J 
same family, nursed him so kindly and assiduously as to produce a life-long 
and loving attachment between them. The tradition of the origin of this 
attachment has been preserved in his Parish to account for him marrying a 
lady born with only one hand and about ten years older than himself. 

His will, dated a short time before his decease, mentions : His wife 
Mary ; son David Hibberd Jewett, and my grandchildren David, Charles,

15, 1741. He settled in Rindge, N. H. 

" At an early date he was proprietor of lot No. 50 in the Rowley ■ 
Canada township, which had been chartered by the General Court of thej 
Province of Massachusetts. Here pr-evious to 1753 he reared a house andj 
planted an orchard. His title to this land being lost, he subsequently pur-^ 
chased the same property of the Masonian grantees, or the proprietors of 
Monadnock No. 1." 

This property he later leased for a period of three years as per the 
following : " Know all men by these Presents that I Oliver Scales of

" Ezekiel Jewett was engaged in the French and Indian War and sub- 
sequently married. The home of his bride was about a mile distant from 
his own, and on the opposite shore of Pool Pond. After their return from 
the marriage ceremony, which was performed in Hollis, N. H., the journey 
from her former to her future home was made in a log canoe across the 
pond and by marked trees through the forest, where now is located the track 
of the Monadnock Railroad. Her parents presented the young wife with 
one chair and one bed; her husband furnished a few rude utensils and five 
army blankets, and with these conveniences their married life was begun. 

" Their first babe was born in the month of April. Their store of 
maple sugar was first made, and then the sap-trough was employed for a 
cradle, in which the sleep of the infant was presumably sweet." 

" They were prospered in their primitive home, and acquired a con- 
siderable estate and many of the comforts of life. He was a man of ability 
and in character above reproach." 

It seems from the records that Ezekiel Jewett, with several others, 
were decided in their views in regard to Church matters, as will be seen from 
the following record of a town meeting held in Rindge to " decide what 
shall be done with several inhabitants of the town who refused to pay 
their share of the Minister's salery." At this meeting the following letter 
was read: 



120 Jewett Genealogy 

Rindge, January, 3, 1769. 
" To the Gentlemen Selectmen and to the Town of Rindge — liPJ 

"The reasons of our not meeting with you were these — we are (1'^) 
against those that Preach for money or those that ask pay for kindling a 
Fire on God's alter. 

" 2'^ We believe that Baptism is Rightly administered by Immersion 
only of Diping y® whole Body of the party in Water into the name of the 
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit According to Christ's In- 
structions and the practice of the Apostles, and not by Sprinkling or 
Pouring of Water or Diping some part of the Body After the Tradition 
of Men. 

" Signed : Ezekiel Jewett ; Stephen Jewett ; Jonathan Jewett, and six 
others. 

" On the back of said Reasons were writ, Malachi Chapter 1 Verse 10 ; 
Micah Chapter 3 Verse II " 

The town voted not to discharge them from paying any salary to the 
Rev. Mr. Seth Dean. 

April 24, 1768 — " The church then met and after fervent Prayer to 
Almighty God for Direction, a complaint was then made against Ezekiel 
Jewett, a member of s^ church for his withdrawing himself from public 
worship & turning his Back upon y® ordinance of y® Lords Supper which 
conduct of his was inquired into whether his withdrawing was sinful and 
unscriptural. After his Defence was made and heard y*^ church tho* proper 
to adjourn s*^ meetig until Thursday y^ 2^ of June Next, to hear further 
and make further inquiry into s*^ case and y® above s*^ Jewett was then 
notified of s*^ meeting " 

On Dec. 12 of the same year is this record: "At a church meeting 
held by adjournment on the case of Ezekiel Jewett who had for a long 
time absented himself from y^ word preached, and from special ordinances, 
concerning which conduct of said Jewett by a vote of y^ church council 
was asked of an association." By a letter dated New Ipswich, Nov. 9, 
1769, their advice was " to treat y® case with much Tenderness and at 
present omit church discipline. We promise by y^ Grace of God, for y® 
to Treat him with all Tenderness but this we say in honor to Christs 
Church of which we are members and in faithfulness to our souls that y® 
above s*^ withdraw of s*^ Jewett from special ordinances is unscriptural and 
Sinful." (Hist, of Rindge-Stearns.) 

Ezekiel Jewett died at Rindge Feb. 7, 1786. His widow, surviving 
him about forty-four years, died on the homestead Sept. 13, 1830.

Sixth Generation 12S 

of Rowley, daughter of Deacon Richard and Mehltable (Jewett 183) 
Thurston. She was born in Rowley Dec. 14, 1741. 

He graduated from Harvard College in 1769, was ordained Sept. 1^ 
1771, and settled over the Congregational Church of Candia, N. H., in 
1771. The hard times of the Revolution coming on and the town small, they 
could not pay his salary, and he was dismissed about 1780. Jan. 2, 1782, 
he settled in Winthrop, Me., and became the first pastor of the Congrega- 
tional Church of that town. " Oct. 17, 1781, Rev. David Jewett, who had 
been pastor of a church in Candia, N. H., was invited to become their 
pastor (Winthrop). The 19th of November he signified his acceptance 
of their proposals. The same day the church and the pastor elect agreed 
to send to the following pastors and churches viz — Rev. Mess. Upham of 

; Chadwick of Scarboro ; Webster of Arundell (now Biddeford) ; Eaton 

of Harpswell; Whitney of New Castle, and Moore of Pownalborough to 
compose the installing council. Jan. 2, 1782, the installation took place, 
but who of them attended and performed on the occasion is not known. The 
result of the Council is lost. In about 14 months after the installation their 
pastor was removed by sudden death. During the following 17 years they 
remained destitute of a pastor." (Hist, of Winthrop-Thurston.) 

" Oct. 17, 1781, the town voted as an encouragement to Rev. David 
Jewett to settle with us to give him the grant of a 260 acre lot and £60 
lawful money the first year and the said salary to increase yearly as our 
interest increases until it arrives to £80 the same to be estimated at Rye at 
5s per bushel ; indian corn at 4s and beef at 3d per pound ; what money he 
shall receive towards his salary shall be in proportion to the aforesaid articles 
as herein stated. And to prevent all misunderstanding of this vote it is 
the true intent and meaning of the same that if said articles fall, the salary 
shall fall in proportion, but that his salary shall be paid in proportion to 
the above said articles not exceeding the within price. The town voted to 
raise and pay Mr. Jewett £12 lawful money, probably for his services prior 
to this settlement." 

His answer to the call of the church and people of Winthrop follows: 

" And now Gentlemen of the town of Winthrop respecting your grant 
for the support of a public Teacher, you have done honorably and well; 
and have even exceeded my most sanguine desire. I therefore most cheer- 
fully donate and refund one-twentieth of my salary during my ministry 
among you for the support of a school and to be distributed at the discretion 
of the selectmen of the town: only shall expect to be absent two Sabbaths 
in a year for the purpose of visiting my friends at a distance; should I 
occasionally be absent longer than that term shall expect to refund it out 
of my yearly salary, sickness only excepted. Wishing you the blessings of 
God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the consolation of the Holy 
Spirit I am your affectionate and most humble servant 

" David Jewett 

" Dated at Winthrop, Me., Nov. 16, 1781."

He removed to Hopkinton, N. H., before 1764 ; was a soldier in the

Gordon's Co., Col. David Gilman's Reg., raised out of Regt., commanded

He signed the Association Test at Hopkinton in 1776. 

From the New Hampshire State Papers is taken the following : " To 
his Excellency John Wentworth Esq. Captain General and Governour in 
Chief in, and over his Majesty s Province of New Hampshire, To the honour- 
able, his Majestys Council And to the honourable General Assembly of the 
Province of New Hampshire, in General Court assembled. 

" The Petition of the Inhabitants of Hopkinton in this Province of New 
Hampshire, humbly sheweth. That whereas we your humble Petitioners 
have been at great cost & charge in Settling a New Township, and settling 
the Gospel and maintaining it among us, Paying the Arrears of the Province 
Tax for three years which was not paid in proper season because we had no 
[ Power during that time to assess & Collect it (paying said arrears in three 
years after said tax ought to have been paid besides the proper tax of 
those years, in a Time of great scarcity of money. And in building an 
house for the public worship of God, with but very little Help from the non- 
resident Proprietors & owners of land in the Town) besides the additional 
Difficulties & Dangers which many of us suffered by living in a New Town- 
ship at the outside of all the Towns in the province, in the Time of the late 
War and settling a Gospel Minister in that Time; And by what we have 
done & suffered in these Times the Land of Nonresident Proprietors and 
I owners, which lies in the Town has been greatly increased in Value with very 
little if any Cost to them, and we your humble Petitioners cannot but think 
that they ought in Reason & Equity to bear part of the charges of what has 
increased the Value of their land as well as to enjoy the Benefit. We there- 
fore your humble Petitioners humbly and earnestly pray. That your Excel- 
lency & your Honours would take our case into your wise & compassionate 
Consideration and in Order to making us some Relief under our heavy 
Burden if you think proper would pass an act to lay a tax of one Copper 
(or one half penny sterling) per acre or so much as you shall think proper 
upon all the uncultivated Land in this town belonging to nonresident pro- 
prietors & Owners for the space of five years or as long as you shall think 
proper. Except what land in the Town is Owned by the Masonian Proprietors 
and so long as it is owned by them ; the appropriated Right for the Ministry 
and school and what is owned by the minister of the Town. 

" And if your Excellency and your Honours shall be pleased to Grant 



144 Jewett Genealogy 

our Petition in laying a Tax upon the Land aforesaid, We Humbly pray also 
that you would make Effectual Provission for us to assess said tax upon & 
collect it from said non-resident Proprietors & Owners of Land in said town 
of Hopkinton. For which Goodness your humble Petitioners for your Ex- 
cellency & your Honours as in Duty bound shall Ever pray.

James Jewett settled in Exeter, N. H., in 1758, and afterwards in 
Hopkinton, N. H., where he refused to sign the Association Test in 1776. 
He again removed, with his two nephews, to Enfield, N. H., and joined the 
Shakers. He was admitted to that Society Aug. 1, 1793, and became Elder 
of the Church in 1795. He died July 17, 1804-5. 

Extracts from addresses made at the exercises commemorating the 
" Hundredth Anniversary of the Shaker Church of Enfield" held Oct. 18, 

1893. Address by Abraham Perkins. " Zadok Wright, in Sept. ; 

1782, with the Brethren from New Lebanon, journeyed from Hartland to 
Enfield, N. H., when, meeting James Jewett, Sen., who was at work on a 
bridge at North Enfield, they were invited to his house, situated on Shaker 



Sixth Generation 145 

Hill, so called since that time. Here they tarried some days, and to his 
family and their neighbors they preached the testimony of the cross of 
Christ, a separation from the spirit of the world. It appears that James 
iJewett and many others were in labor, seeking for something more sound, 
substantial and protective, than was to be found in the orthodox churches 
and religious bodies known to them, and were prepared to listen to the new 
doctorine advanced by the brethren, which met the understanding of many 
and was embraced as I have been told, by as many as two hundred men, 
[women and children in those early days, many of whom proved faithful 
through life. James Jewett, Sen., was the first man in New Hampshire 
!who confessed his sins; his family united with him, all of whom, I believe, 
jwith one exception, honored their gospel call and were faithful to the end, 
having become to the Church efficient members." 

i Address by Elder H. C. Blinn : " The wicked lookers-on of that day 
■called these zealous souls by many nick-names, among which were the " New 
Lights," " Come Outers " and " Merry Dancers." Stories were circulated 
lof the queer things that were done by the Shakers. Some of these were black 
[stories and some were shaded to suit the company that listened. Sometimes 
ithey were more mirthful than malicious." 

" The Shakers now held their hour of worship at the residence of James 
[Jewett. Here the faithful and unfaithful congregated and for eleven 
lyears the old " Shaker Hill " resounded with more singing and shouting and 
Ishaking than has ever been heard, since that date, throughout the whole town 
lof Enfield. In those meetings, the voice of God was the voice of the people. 
It was quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. 

To attend this meeting men and women would travel for miles. In sum- 
|mer it was on foot or on horseback, and in winter it was sometimes on an 
^x sled. 

" James Jewett had a singular visitor from the State of Maine. He 
|was a ' New Light Baptist,' and on his way to Vermont in search of a new 
'home. He called on his New Light brother Jewett, and received faith. 
jThis man says he was suddenly taken from his chair by some unknown power 
|and spun like a top. He whirled out of the house, down to the shore of the 
Mascoma Lake, and then back to the same place again. This confirmed him 
n his faith and he became a zealous preacher of the gospel. It was an odd 
ivay to ordain a minister, and yet no more singular than it was to strike a 
nan with blindness and throw him to the ground, in order to convert him. 

" James Jewett became a zealous advocate of the new religion and 
:)pened his house to all who embraced the faith, and to this day his name 
irests upon the memory without a tarnish, and the Society in Enfield speak of 
lim with deep affection. To him the scripture promise was a sure inheri- 
tance. ' Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give th'ee a crown of life.' 
" With the father, James Jewett, came the mother and several sons and 
laughters, all of whom consecrated their lives to God and for the good of 
lis people."

518 JOSEPH JEWETT ( James"% Jonathan®', Joseph's MaximiUan', 

Edward') was born in Newburyport, Mass., , 1749. He settled in 

Scarborough, Me., and married there, in 1779, Ruth McLaughlin of that 
place. She was of Scotch-Irish descent and rendered her husband most 
effective assistance. She died May 7, 1848, aged 91 years, 9 months, and 

7 days. 

Mr. Jewett removed from Scarborough to Portland, Me., and became 
a merchant of that place. In 1773 he bought a lot and house, then unfin- 
ished, of John Greewood for 500 pounds, old tenor, equivalent to 136 silver 
dollars. This was a " tavern house " on the south corner of Middle and 
Silver streets, a three-story wooden structure with brick ends. He finished 
the house and moved into it in November, 1786, where he kept a store in the 
lower eastern room and did a large business. 

He and his brother James were two of the incorporators of the Second 
Parish Church Society of Portland, Me., March 17, 1788. He died July 
15, 1796. 

Children: 

1221 James, born in Scarborough, Me., Sunda}-, Nov. 28, 1779. He 

graduated from Harvard College in 1800 and commenced the 
practice of law in Portland, but left it in a few years for an 
appointment in the Custom House. He died in Portland in 1824, 
unm. 

1222 William, born in Scarborough, Me., Saturday, Oct. 13, 1781. 

" In 1809 Wilham Jewett, with his uncle, James Jewett, em- 
ployed Moulton of Portland, who had a shipyard where the Gait 
Block now is, to build them a fast brig to run the English 
blockade at Guadaloupe, but the Island had surrendered before 
she arrived there. She was of 190 tons burthen; John Curtis, 
Master and William Cammett first mate, and was called the 
Rapid. William Jewett, one of the owners, was a passenger on 
the vessel and was determined to make a good voyage at all haz- 
ards notwithstanding he had been disappointed in obtaining a 
cargo of coffee. He decided to purchase a cargo of cotton 
at Charlestown, S. C, and to seek a market in Europe. On 
arrival at Fahnouth England he learned that cotton was wanted 
in Memel in Prussia at a dollar a pound. The brig joined a 
convoy of 700 sail of merchantmen at Gottenburg, all bound 
up the Baltic under a British convoy of several frigates and 
two line-of-battle ships, one of which was the Victory, Nel- 
son's flag-ship on whose deck he lost his life at the Battle of 
Trafalgar in 1805. On the arrival of the Rapid at Memel in 
November she was seized by Bonapartist oflScials, as the City had 
a few days before surrendered to him and a guard of 16 French 
soldiers were put on board. After several days trial on shore by 
:Mr. Jewett and the Captain to have the brig released, Mr. Jewett 



Sixth Gekeeation 155 

came on board without the Captain and was much affected at the 
loss of his vessel and cargo, which was confiscated as the vessel 
was from a British port and under a British convoy. Mr. Jew- 
ett's state of mind excited Mr. Cammett's sympathy and he pro- 
posed to him that with his permission he would retake the brig 
and run her out by the forts, to which Mr. Jewett gladly as- 
sented and the crew as gladh' promised their assistance as they 
would lose their wages if the vessel remained a prize to the 
French. That day a crew of pilots came aboard to take the 
brig up to the town to avoid the ice. The cook could speak 
French and was of great assistance in the project. The Pilots- 
attempted to weigh anchor but found it foul of some obstruc- 
tion, when Mr. Cammett proposed through the cook to set some 
of the lower sails which would assist them in clearing the anchor, 
to which they agreed. The time to act now arrived. The wind 
was favorable and the sails were set except the jib. When the 
vessel headed right Mr. Cammett told the men to hoist the jib, 
"which the Frenchmen tried to prevent, suspecting the intentions 
and ordered the soldiers to fire on the crew but the guns would 
not go off, as the faithful cook, by Mr. Cammett's orders, had 
removed the flints, Mr. Cammett seized an axe from its hiding- 
place and at one blow cut the hemp cable to the windlass and 
held the axe for future use, if necessary. The soldiers and 
pilots went over the side into their boats and with a swift breeze 
the Rapid run by the forts under fire but without receiveing a shot 
aboard. The Rapid arrived and wintered at Rega in Russia 
where her cargo was sold for a large price and she sailed for 
Boston via London, making the passage from London to Boston 
in the unprecedented time of 15 days. 

" Early in the summer of 1812 the owners of the Rapid put 
in a heavy battery of 15 guns and 100 men and dispatched her 
as a privateer and after a varied career was captured by the 
British and fitted out as a brig-of-war and entered on the list of 
the English Navy as the Nova Scotia.'^ (Portland Centennial 
Hall.)

his profession which soon extended beyond Barnstead into Acton, Barring-

Consequently he had a large swing-sign, painted blue; on this was the pic- 
ture of a dolphin with a spear aimed at it and under it were the words 
" Catch a dolphin." On the other side was the picture of an anchor and

I by Dr. Cyrus Snell. Deacon Jewett was a genuine Puritan, possessing the 
strong religious zeal characteristic of his time. He was fully conscious of 
the importance of his sacred office and claimed a share of that deference 
supposed to be due to the dignitaries of the period. He had not only the 
failings, but the virtues of the Puritan believer ; in person, said to be small, 
of swarthy complexion and led forward by an enormous nose, a facial 
appendage that has been duplicated by some of his descendants who are 
supposed to be proud of this inheritance from the anatomy of this pro- 
genitor." (Saco Valley Settlements.)

settled in what is now known as Jewett City, Conn. 

Eleazer Jewett is described in Miss Calkin's History of Norwich, Conn., 
as " king the founder of the thriving and beautiful village of Jewett City, 
a man of sterling worth, marked business tact and as enterprising as he was 
honest. Beginning with only a small farm and a mill seat on Patchaug 
River, he lived to see a flourishing village spread round him enriched with 



Sixth Generation 169 

mills, stores, mechanical operations and farms in an improved state of 
tillage, to which the public gave the familiar name of Jewett City. He 
had first a grist mill, then a saw mill and sold out portions of his land to 
induce others to settle near him. 

" About the year 1790 he was joined by John Wilson, a clothier, from 
Massachusetts, who married his daughter, whom he encouraged to set up a 
woolen mill. We learn from Wilson's advertisement that he was readv at 
his mill to accommodate the public in December 1793. 

" Eleazer Jewett was not a man of finished education, but active, per- 
severing, and of a genial, kindly temperament, happy in doing good, and 
opening paths of enterprise for the benefit of others, without laboring to 
enrich himself." 

In the village graveyard a plain slab marks the burial-place of this 
founder, bearing the following inscription:

was Judge for the shire of Bennington in 1778. He was a lieutenant in the 
Militia, and was in active service at the battle of Bennington. It is said 
that in the midst of the fight, it was announced that the cartridges had 
given out, whereupon Lieut. Jewett seized a camp kettle, and filling it with 
powder, dealt it out in a dipper with his own hands to the soldiers. At the 
close of the action he found an unfortunate officer of the enemy, wounded 
and expiring on the field; he gently placed him against a tree, but his cap, 
belt and sword, no longer useful to him, he bore away. He afterwards 
learned that the unfortunate officer was the Hessian Col. Baum, the com- 
mander of the expedition. Mrs. Eunice (Slafter) Jewett was a woman of 
superior intellect, a Christian in word and deed, of fine manners and of re- 
markable strength of character." (Slafter Memorial.)

He married Oct. 31, 1765, Dorcas Gates of Stowe, N. H., and removed to 
Rindge, N. H. 

From Stearns' " Hist, of Rindge, N. H. : " Few men, if any, have 
been more prominently connected with the town's history. For many years 
he was often engaged as master of the grammar schools, and was employed 
from time to time in all the early districts in the town." 

" He was a Selectman fourteen years, town clerk seven years, Repre- 
sentative to the Legislature in 1785, and was often chosen to serve his 
townsmen in other capacities. During the Revolution he was twice in the 
ranks, but his record is more conspicuous in his frequent attendance in 
conventions and meetings of Committees of Safety. For many years he 
was a Justice of the Peace, and probably no citizen of this town has drawn 
an equal number of legal papers." 

He served two enlistments as follows : " Pay Roll of the men that 
went to Cambridge in Capt. Nathan Hale's Co., at the time of the Lexing- 
ton Fight— April y« 19, 1775 Edward Jewett £1 17s 4d." (Stearn.) 

" Capt. Stone's Co., Lieut. Col. Heald's detachment marched June 
29, 1777 to reinforce Garrison at Ticonderoga — Edward Jewett Sergt." 
(N. H. S. P.) 

Town records : " In August 1776, a convention of the Committees of 
Safety in Cheshire Co. was held at Walpole ' to act upon such methods as 
shall be thought necessary for the general good, and for our mutual de- 
fense and safety ' In this convention Edward Jewett Esq. represented the 
town of Rindge and subsequently received one pound six shillings for his 
attendance." 

" Rindge January y® 4 1782 

" After hearing the Report of the Com*^® & Bill of Rights & Con- 
stitution, article by article, & Rejecting some clauses and Accepting some

chose a Committee of three men to draw up the Reason of Rejection and 
Alterations. Chose Edward Jewett, Deacon Francis Towne and Major 
Daniel Rand for s^ Committee." This was in regard to the " frame of 
Government for the State." 

During the War of 1812 he again served on committees of the town 
and was active in public life. " Sept. 8, 1812. Voted to chose three dele- 
gates to meet with others who are or may be appointed to assemble in some 
convenient place in this county to consult upon the state of our public 
concerns for the preservation of order and the restoration of peace. Ed-

" Hist, of Ashburnham, Mass."— Stearns.— " Col. Jewett through a 
long and active hfe was a controlling spirit in this town. After serving in 
the Revolution he removed to Ashburnham in 1783. He was a merchant 
and farmer, and for many years the leading business man of the place, 
but in other employments he was even more intimately identified with the 
town history. In this connection his record as a citizen, and the sterling 
quahties of his character demand more than a passing notice. At the age 
of 22 years he entered upon the scene of his future activity and immedi- 
ately the town recognized the quahties of the man. The proof of his popu- 
larity and the measure of the confidence reposed in him are witnessed by 
the records. He was a member of the board of Selectmen fifteen years, an 
assessor fifteen years, town clerk eighteen years and ten times chosen to 
preside over the annual March meeting. 

" In the midst of these accumulating honors and responsibilities he 
was a member of the Legislature seven years and was frequently chosen to 
serve on committees and render other service to the town. In military 
affairs he evinced a lively interest. He commanded a company in this town 
as early as 1789 and was commissioned a Captain of the independent com- 
pany in this town July 12, 1791, and the following year was promoted to 
Major. He was Lieutenant Colonal in 1795 and Colonel of the Regiment 
in 1796. For many years he was a Justice of the Peace." 

While a resident of Bolton he served in the Revolution as follows: 
" Joseph Jewett, Private, Capt. John Drury's co.. Col. Ezra Wood's regt ; 
enhsted June 6, 1778; discharged Feb. 10, 1779; service 8 mos. 4 days;

ney's (2d) regt; enlisted Oct. 27, 1779; service to Dec. 1, 1779, 1 mo. 5

N. Richards, one of his non-commissioned officers, speaks of him as follows: 
f " Captain Joseph Jewett of Huntington's Regiment, an officer much re- 
spected and beloved, of elegant and commanding appearance and unques- 
! tionable bravery, was murdered in cold blood, having surrendered his sword 
I when demanded, the British officer, on receiving it, instantly plunged it 
( through his body" (Vermont Chronicles). The other version of his death 
is a statement of Lieutenant Jabez Fitch, who was in Captain Jewett's Com- 
pany and was taken prisoner at the same time. He says that the Captain 
was three times wounded by bayonet stabs " after he had surrendered," but 
I makes no mention of his having been run through by a British officer with 
[1 his own sword after he had given it up. The original statement of Lieu- 
} tenant Fitch is now in the possession of C. J. Bushnell of New York " (A 
j Memoir of the Long Island Historical Society 1878).

He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1801 ; studied for the ministry 
with Rev. Dr. Emmons, of Franklin, and Rev, Dr. Spring, of Newburyport, 
Mass ; was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church at Rockport, Mass., 
Oct. 30, 1805, and continued in the pastorate of that Church for 31 years, 
when he resigned on account of impaired health. 

" Mr. Jewett's views of reHgious truths were those entertained by most 
of the New England churches of his time. He found a church of ten mem- 
bers which he increased to two hundred and fifty. He found his people, if 
not in a low state of morals, yet rapidly tending thitherward, and he arrested 
this downward progress, and improved and elevated them to such a degree 
that the success of his labors was often the theme of remarks in places beyond 
the sphere of his work. He was compelled to resign by ill health in 
1836, and died at the home of his son-in-law, in Waltham, July 14, 1841. By 
desire of the people of his parish, his remains were brought to Rockport, July 
— , 1856, and interred in the Parish Burying-ground, where a handsome 
granite monument marks the place of their repose. The occasion was one 
of deep interest. On the 13th of that month, Rev. Wm. R. Jewett, his son, 
preached a sermon at the meetinghouse, and then made an address at the grave 
which was responded to on behalf of the people by Dr. Benjamin Haskell." 
(" Hist, of Gloucester, Mass.") 

Allen, in his " American Biographies," says of him : " He was a man of 
childlike simplicity and Christian tenderness, but of an iron purpose, resolute, 
fearless and immovable."

years on a farm in West Rindge. Subsequently he purchased and removed 
to the farm upon the east side of the highway, and about one-half mile 
north of the centre of the town, which Is still known as the Dr. Thomas 
Jewett place, where he passed the remainder of his years. 

" As a physician Dr. Jewett was eminently successful, and arrived at 
considerable eminence In his profession. In the treatment of a malignant 
fever, which prevailed with startling fatality throughout a large portion 
of New England In 1811 and 1812, and which was generally called ' spotted 
fever,' his success was exceeded by few, if any, physicians in this vicinity. 

" Dr. Jewett was exceedingly fond of his farm, and during the later 
years of his life, he retired from the practice of his profession, and directed 
his attention to agricultural pursuits. 

" As a citizen he was held in high esteem. Possessing a sound judgment, 
a clear and discriminating mind, his opinion Invariably commanded respect. 
In religious opinions, for many years, he was unsettled, and at times skepti- 
cal, but subsequently acknowledged a change in his views, and united with 
the Congregational Church, of which he continued a constant member until 
his death. The tract written by Dr. Burnham, 'The Infidel Reclaimed,'

" Of Mr. Jewett, his contemporaries report that his word was * like 
apples of gold on pictures of silver.' In confirmation they relate the follow- 
ing anecdote: He once bargained with Jason Parker to furnish him the 
ensuing winter, one hundred tons of hay at five dollars per ton. The winter 
set in early and proved an unusually bleak and cheerless one. Hay was in 
great demand, and had largely risen in value. Without a murmur Mr. 
Jewett faithfully executed his contract; and as he urged his laboring cattle 
over the bare and rough corduroy which formed the only road between 
him and his purchaser he was often accosted to know the price of his hay — 
* sold ' was his response.

From " Hist, of Bethel, Maine," Lapham : " There was an itin- 
erant Baptist minister by the name of Mighill Jewett, who fre- 
quently came to this town and preached in the lower parish. He 
supported himself by such contributions as were made him from 
time to time. On one occasion, a text was given him to preach 
from by Deacon Phineas Frost, and the church was crowded, for 
he was considered an able preacher. But to the surprise of every 
one and to the disgust of many, he preached a strong Universalist 
sermon ; admitting that before that time he had been in error, and 
that the study of the text given him, with the context, had caused 
him to change his views entirely. He was never settled, but 
preached as an itinerant; had good talents and gifts, but broke 
down mentally and passed away."

" Captain Jewett was a man of sterling qualities of head and heart. 
A keenly active intelligence, uncompromising integrity and a genial manner 
combined to win for him the esteem and friendship of all who knew him. 
With an eminently practical turn of mind for scientific and general reading, 
he thus accumulated a fund of information, especially in the departments 
of natural history and the physical sciences, which, among his associates, 
made him an authority in these subjects. Possessed of a high sense of the 
importance of moral worth he spared no pains to inculcate in his children 
the highest ideals of manhood and good citizenship. They will ever revere 
his memory for the rich heritage they owe to his example and precept."

ter of Robert Plaisted de Mar of Scarboro, Me. She died Aug. 26, 1863, 
aged 66 years. Gen. Jewett graduated from Bowdoin College in 1810 and 
settled on a farm in Scarboro, Me. He soon became prominent in public 
affairs and was a member of the Senate of Massachusetts before 1820, when 
Maine was still a part of that state; was in command of the Military re- 
view of Maine in 1839, and about this time or soon after removed to Port- 
land, Me., where he died Oct. 5, 1870. 

A local newspaper of Poi'tland gives the following description of the 
Jewett house: "Among Portland's old houses few contain so many an- 
tiquities as the Jewett mansion on Pleasant street. It was erected in 1849, 
and its bay windows are the first ever built in Portland. As one enters the 
large front room one sees a plain round mahogany centre table that was a 
part of the wedding outfit of the grandmother of the brother and sister 
who now occupy the house. It is over 112 years old. In a corner is a 
high-backed chair of mahogany, elaborately carved. Its age is not known, 
but the late Dr. Carruthers asserted that it was of ancient Scottish manu- 
facture ; the Scotch thistle being repeatedly shown in the carving. There is 
an ottoman, worked in the Kensington stitch by Miss Sarah Jewett, known 
as ' Aunt Sally.' It was exhibited in the first fair of the Maine Charitable 
Mechanics' Association, and a silver medal was awarded inscribed with 
' Award to Miss S. Jewett for her beautiful worsted work,' and it is indeed 
beautiful, the colors being still bright. It was ' Aunt Sally ' who was instru- 
mental in collecting the valuable antiquities of the house, and she took great 
pride in them. In the hall is a large and handsomely carved chair that was 
once the property of Queen Anne of England. It was brought to this 
country by an Englishman who settled on a farm in Topsham. Miss Jewett 
saw it there and gave the man .$5.00 for it. He promised to bring it to 
Portland. Months went by and no chair appeared, and her friends had a 
good deal of sport over her probable loss of the five dollars. But late in 
the fall the farmer appeared with the chair and a bushel of sweet apples 
as a panacea for his tardiness. In another room is an eight-legged table 
of solid mahogany. There are no nails or glue. The parts are mortised 
together. It was once the property of Governor Winthrop and was brought 
over by him to Massachusetts in 1630. Miss Jewett's brother, Luther, once 
collector of the port here, married the sister of one Winthrop Jones, of 
Brewer. He was a direct descendant of Gov. Winthrop, and the table was 
obtained from him. It is perfectly preserved and looks as if it would last 
for three or four more centuries. One is shown a towel of fine linen that be- : 
longed to the Empress Josephine. On a handsome and ancient sideboard 
are several pieces of old crockery, all of European manufacture, the ap- 
pearance betokening great age. There is an oval dish with a segment cut 
from one side large enough to fit around the neck. By a string around 
the neck the dish is held under the chin and thus the old Dutch burghers 
shaved themselves and protected their clothing from the lather.

Bunker Hill are handsome relics. Indeed, one who knew said qf the sash 
that nothing in the regalia of the Mason can compare with it in beauty. 
A handsome round snufF-box, of some light-colored wood and lined with 
tortoise shell, bears the carved inscriptions in French : ' The reverses of the 
moment passed away, a long glory is ineffaceable,' ' 25 years of conquest, 
1000 successes against one defeat,' and others, indicate that it was made in 
France directly after the Battle of Waterloo. 

" The coat of arms of the Jewett family hangs in the hall and is prob- 
ably the oldest thing in the house. It was brought to this country by 
Joseph and Maximilian Jewett, who came from Rowley, England, and settled 
Newburyport, Mass., in 1-639, calling the place Rowley, the name it has 
since retained. The house • they built was torn down within the past 
five years and was one of the oldest houses in the country."

1242 HON. JEDEDIAH JEWETT (James''", James"", Jonathan 
Joseph", Maximilian^, Edward^), was bom in Portland, Me., July 21, 1807. 
He married there, Sept. 2, 1833, Ehzabeth Fox, who was bom in Portland 
May 10, 1811, daughter of Charles and Eunice (McLellan) Fox. She died 
in Portland from typhoid fever Nov. 27, 1862. He died there from diph- 
theria Oct. 10, 1863. 

" Mr. Jewett was a man of marked character. Brought up as a mer- 
chant, he was ever among the most active, and in that business he continued 
in this city for many years. In 1858 he was elected Mayor of the city, 
and re-elected in 1859. During his administration of the municipal affairs, 
the splendid Government building, which was initiated during the admin- 
istration of Mayor Willis, was erected and nearly brought to a completion. 
In the erection of the edifice Mayor Jewett exerted all his powers to have 
such a building as would be an honor and credit to the city, and though 
there was much opposition to the measure he succeeded in carrying out his 
plans, and he has left a proud monument to his memory." 

" While Mayor of the city it was his constant effort to do everything 
in his power for the improvement of our city, and in all such measures 
he succeeded. His recommendations for alterations and improvements were 
presented to the City Council in so candid and terse a manner that they 
were uniformly adopted. He loved the city of his birth, and was ever dis- 
posed to do all that he could to beautify and adorn it. 

" In 1861 he was appointed, by President Lincoln, Collector of this 
port. We but speak the sentiment of the whole community when we say 
that in this office he has been exceeded by no previous incumbent for his fi- 
delity in the discharge of his duties, and amenities to those having business 
transactions at the office. His promptness of action on the occasion of 
the seizure of the Revenue Cutter Caleb Cushing, and, also, on several other 
occasions since the breaking out of the rebellion, have won for him the com- 
mendation of the Secretary of the Treasury." 

" But it was not only in an official character that Mr. Jewett dis- 
played his interest in his native city. As a member of the Board of Trade, 
a Director of the Athenaeum, a member of the Natural History Society, 
and in various other institutions with which he was connected, he was prom- 



Seventh Generation 261 

inent. All the above mentioned Associations will bear witness to liis un- 
tiring devotion to their interests and to the good of our city. The Park 
Street Church, of which he has been a member ever since its formation in 
1835, and the Sabbath School connected with it, of which he was Superin- 
tendent, wiU feel his loss most severely. He was one of the most active 
and efficient members, ever ready to fill any place where he thought he could 
do good." 

" The loss of such a man is felt by the whole community. His place 
is not to be easily filled. With singleness of heart he looked to the greatest 
good of the greatest number, and with all his energies devoted himself to it." 

" The flags on the Custom House, City Hall, shipping and at the 
British Consulate were hoisted at half mast on Saturday as soon as the 
death of Mr. Jewett was known." 

" At a regular meeting of the Mercantile Library Association, held at 
its rooms on Saturday evening, a committee was chosen to prepare resolu- 
tions expressive of the feeUngs of the Association concerning the death of 
Mr. Jewett, who was one of the founders of the institution and formerly 
President. Out of respect to his memory the meeting then adjourned." 

" The Board of Trade and members of the Merchants' Exchange hold 
a meeting to-day, at 11 o'clock, to adopt such measures as they may deem 
proper in relation to the loss they have sustained." 

" At a special meeting of the City Council Saturday evening, the fol- 
lowing preamble and resolutions were offered by Alderman S. W. Larrabee, 
and were unanimously adopted in both Boards: 

" Whereas, It has pleased God, in his infinite wisdom, to remove, by 
death, our worthy and distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. Jedediah Jewett, 
in his mature manhood, and from the weighty cares and responsibilities 
that rested upon him — therefore 

" Resolved, That in the decease of Mr. Jewett, this city has lost one of 
its most useful and devoted citizens, ever alive to its interests, untiring in 
his labors to promote and carry forward any enterprise tending to promote 
its real prosperity and true advancement; loyal and patriotic in his in- 
stincts, warm-hearted and generous in his sympathies, he was always ready 
to co-operate with any enterprise, having in view the welfare of humanity. 

" Resolved, That we tender to the afflicted family of our deceased fellow- 
citizen our warmest sympathies, and commend them to Him, who, in His 
infinite compassion, has declared that He will be Father to the fatherless. 

Resolved, That in testimony of our respect to the memory of tlie deceased, 
the City Council will attend his obsequies. 

Resolved, That the Mayor be requested to furnish the family of the 
deceased a copy of these Resolutions and to publish the same in the daily 
papers." — From Portland Newspaper.

fine axe and pick handles and general wheelwright work. In those days 
all commodities were teamed over the road, heavy loaded wagons continually 
passing his door on their way to or from Boston, many going to Brattleboro,

Thomas and Polly (Goodwin) Adams. She was boni March 17, 1791, and 
died in Alexandria, La., Oct, 11, 1834. He married second, Lydia Adams, 
sister of his first wife. 

" He was a merchant in Ashburnham. In 1827 he removed to Fitch- 
burg and was interested in several manufacturing and other enterprises. 
Many of the business ventures were unfortunate. General Jewett was of a 
buoyant, ardent temperament, of attractive personal appearance and com- 
manding presence. He was affable, kind hearted, and generous. Popularity 
was his birthright, and the record of his early life is attractive and inspirit- 
ing. At the age of 34 years he had risen from the ranks of the Ashburnham 
Light Infantry to the rank of General of the State Militia. At every step 
in this rapid transition he had been an efficient and popular officer. He liad 
been a successful merchant and had enlarged the business established by his 
father; had been employed in town affairs and exercised unusual sway and 
command among his fellow men. 

" Few men at his age and in a rural community of limited population 



306 Jewett Genealogy 

have made a more brilliant record. In mental capacity, in fitness to lead 
and ability to command among men, and aptitude in the routine transactions 
of business he resembled his father in an eminent degree. In boldness of 
conception, in power to persuade, and in originality of project he was his 
superior; but in ripeness of judgment, in prudence, and caution, he failed at 
the threshold of his father's success. Of his later hfe little is known. He 
removed to the South, and there accumulated a handsome property which was 
swept away by the fortunes of war during the Rebellion. He died at Mobile, 
Ala., April 26, 1871." (" Hist, of Ashbumham, Mass.," by Steams.)

1715 ADMIRAL DAVID JEWETT (David H."^ David"% Jos- 
eph^"*, Joseph"", Joseph*, Edward^), was born in the North Parish of New 
London, Conn., June 17, 1772. He married, in New York in 1827, Mrs. 
Eliza McTiers, daughter of Alderman Augustine H. Lawrence of New York. 

Admiral Jewett was a man of uncommon powers of body and mind; 
and imbued with the romatic, adventurous disposition of a knight errant. 
He read law with Gov. Griswold of Lyme, Conn., and in early life went to 
Spain with a relative. The voyage made him infatuated with the sea, and 
after his return he studied navigation and received a commission, at the age 
of nineteen, in the United States Navy ; soon attained the rank of Captain. 
In the French War of 1798 he commanded the ship Trumbull of 24 guns 
and sent home several prizes. He became disgusted with what he considered 
the maltreatment of the Government, and after the reduction of the American 
Navy in 1801, he enhsted in the service of the Buenos Ayrean Government 
and served until its independence was established. After this he enlisted in 
the service of Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, and was the first to raise for 
him the flag of independence. He became Admiral Commander-in-chief and 
about 1827 was sent to New York by the Emperor to contract for and 
oversee the building of two ships of war for the Government of Brazil. He 

later returned to Rio Janerio, where he died July , 1842 ; buried there. 

His widow survived him a few months. 

When Emperor Dom Pedro II was on his visit to the United States 
he said " Admiral Jewett was one of our heroes." Some of his officers said 
" They looked upon him as the people of this country looked upon Lafayette."

1748 PROF. CHARLES COFFIN JEWETT, A. M., (PauP",

was born in Brookline, ]\Iass., Sept. 20, 1823, daughter of Ralph and Rebecca

" Prof. Jewett was a graduate of Brown University in 1835. His in- 
tentions on leaving college was to prepare himself for the Christian ministry, 
but having a decided taste for oriental research, he formed comprehensive 
plans for extensive travels with a view to the thorough study of Asiatic 
literature and religion, but especially those of Palestine. He was unexpect- 
edly delayed in the accomplishment of this plan by the misdirection of a let- 
ter, and that apparently slight circumstance determined his subsequent course, 
and gave complexion to all his after life. While pursuing his theolog- 
ical course at Andover, his taste for bibliographical studies pointed him out 
as the proper person to arrange the library of the Theological Seminary 
in that place. He assisted Mr. O. A. Taylor in preparing a catalogue of the 
library. It was of a highly valuable character, and the success of that 
effort led to his appointment as the librarian of Brown University. Large 
additions to that library were soon made, and Mr. Jewett went to Europe 
and was absent two years and a half, not only to select books for the 
library, but to study French, German and Italian languages and the biblio- 
graphical plans for arranging and cataloguing libraries, which had been 
carried to the greatest perfection in France and Germany, where the sub- 
ject has long been made a matter of profound scientific investigation. On 
his return, he prepared for the press a catalogue of the library of Brown 
University which was published in 1843, and it was so original and in- 
trinsically valuable, that it at once placed him at the head of the bibliog- 
raphers of this country. He held the position of the college librarian from 
1841 to 1848, and for the most of that period he was also Professor of 
Modern Languages and Literature. When the munificent donation of Mr. 



Seventh Generation 339 

James Smithson of England was received in this country, it was at first de- 
termined to appropriate it to the creation of a pubhc hbrary at Wasliington, 
which should be worthy of the United States, and Mr. Jewett was appointed 
the librarian of that Institution. The regents of the Smithsonian fund, 
however, afterwards gave it another direction, but Mr. Jewett had the charge 
of the library long enough to establish a correspondence with all the leading 
libraries in the United States, and to collect much valuable information upon 
the subject. At his instance, a convention of the librarians was called, 
from different parts of the country, for the purpose of devising the best 
method of accomplishing the difficult task of forming, arranging, and cata- 
loguing large public libraries. Mr. Jewett's release from his duties as li- 
brarian of the Smithsonian Institution, in consequence of the change in the 
policy pursued, was synchronous with the formation of the public library 
of Boston. The large donation of Mr. Bates of London, for the creation 
of that library, made it necessary to employ the best bibliographical skill 
to select and arrange it for the public use. Mr. Jewett was chosen for that 
important post, and he entered with great zeal upon the duties of the office. 
Upon the completion of the library building in 1858, he was appointed Sup- 
erintendent of that institution by the City Council, on the unanimous recom- 
mendation of the trustees. Mr. Jewett prepared and published two large 
volumes, containing catalogues of books in both the upper and lower halls 
of that library, which will long remain remarkable monuments of his in- 
dustry, scholarship, and executive ability. Every one, at all acquainted 
with the subject, knows the extreme difficulty of forming a catalogue of a 
large library, to which constant additions are being made, and keeping that 
catalogue full and complete, without frequently publishing supplements. 
Supplements are always inconvenient, they soon become numerous, and thus 
the business of finding any particular book becomes more and more com- 
plicated and difficult. The best bibliographers in Europe have long since 
pronounced it an impossibility to form a catalogue of a large Hbrary to which 
constant additions are made, and which shall be continuous, and thus super- 
sede the necessity of supplements. This problem Mr. Jewett solved, and it 
is, perhaps, the greatest triumph in modern bibliography. The possibility 
and practicability of making a continuous catalogue, which shall embrace 
all additions, arranged in their proper places, have been demonstrated by the 
plan which he practically inaugurated in the public library of this city 
(Boston), and which has already been adopted by several of the large li- 
braries in the United States. 

" Mr. Jewett was also a devoted Christian. For several years he was 
senior warden of Christ Church in Quincy. His pastor says : ' All his 
learning, wisdom and strength were devoted to his loved Saviour. He was a 
firm believer in the divinity of our Lord, and all the doctrines of grace ; ' 
and his pastor asks, ' who has forgotten the noble stand he took, almost 
unaided, against the attempt to violate the sanctity of the Sabbath, by 
opening the public library on the Lord's Day ' . . . Mr. Jewett was

elected a member of this Society in 1855 " (New England Hist, and Gen. 
Register. Vol. XXII). 

Another writer says : " The Poet Cicero beautifully calls the library, 
the soul of the house. Professor Jewett, with a noble ambition, has jealously 
striven to provide such a soul for this great Republic by his intelligent 
labors in connection with the Smithsonian Institute at Washington." 

He died in Braintree, Mass., Jan. 9, 1868. His widow died in Rox- 
bury, Mass., Jan. 3, 1884.

1870 CLARISSA CON ANT (Lucy'"', Jacob'^^ SamueP", Francis^*, 
EzekieP, Maximihan^ Edward^), was born in Hollis, N. H., May 1, 1814. 
She married Dec. 17, 1846, Dr. Sylvanus Bunton. 

Dr. Bunton was of the so-called Scotch-Irish stock. The emigrant, 
Robert Bunton, was one of the original settlers of Allenstown, Merrimack 
Co., N. H. In 1746, while he was working with his son on his intervale farm, 
bordering on the Merrimac River, they were both taken captive by Indians 
and carried to Canada, where they were held for quite a protracted period. 
The son, the grandfather of Dr. Bunton, was commissioned as a Captain 
early in the Revolutionary War, was at the battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, 
and was killed at the battle of White Plains in September, 1776. His son 
Andrew married Lavinia Holden, daughter of David Holden, who served as- 
First Sergeant during the French and Indian War. After his return from 
the army, Mr. Holden lived at Townsend, Mass., but at the outbreak of the 
Revolution his sympathies were with the Crown, and so strong was the feel- 
ing in his neighborhood at that period against the Tories that he was obliged 
to leave his home and remove to Hollis, N. H. 

Dr. Sylvanus, the son of Andrew Bunton, was born at Allenstown, N. H., 
March 8, 1812. He acquired a common-school education in GofFstown, and, 
going to Massachusetts at the age of seventeen, learned the stone-mason's 
trade in Quincy, teaching district schools during the winter, before he him- 
self had attended any higher school. In the fall of 1833 he went to Pembroke 
Academy to fit himself for college, and, entering Dartmouth in 1836, he was j 
graduated in 1840. Impaired health necessitating a change of climate in 
1841, he went to Georgetown, D. C, and was for several years teacher in 



Eighth Generation 357 

select classical schools at Georgetown, Elkridge Landing, and Queen Anne, 
Maryland. While at the latter place he began the study of medicine, attended 
lectures at the Washington University, Baltimore. Here he graduated, and, 
being elected a resident physician to their hospital, he discharged the duties 
of that position for over a year. Returning to New Hampshire, he com- 
menced practice in Manchester in 1846, which he continued until the Civil 
War, during this time holding many responsible positions of the city. While 
living in Manchester, he became connected with the State Militia, and for two 
years held a commission as Major and Surgeon of the Ninth Regiment. 
Early in the war his patriotism led him to volunteer his services to the na- 
tional cause; and being commissioned by Governor Berry as Assistant Sur- 
geon of the Second New Hampshire Infantry, he was identified with that regi- 
ment in active service until June, 1864<, When the Second was mustered out, 
he was immediately appointed Surgeon of the Seventh New Hampshire Regi- 
ment; and after serving nearly fourteen months, he was mustered out with 
the regiment, July 25, 1865. He practiced his profession in Hollis, N. H., 
for two years, then removing to Mt. Vernon, N. H., there continued in active 
practice until failing health and disability occasioned by his army service 
compelled him to retire. His wife died July 3, 1873. Through her father's 
family she was a descendant of the immigrant, Roger Conant, who was bap- 
tized in the parish church of East Budleigh, Devonshire, England, April 9, 
1592, youngest of eight children of Richard and Agnes (Clarke) Conant. 
He was married in London in November, 1618, and came to America in 1623, 
in company with John Oldham, at his own expense. He did not long remain 
at Plymouth, owing to the difference of religious belief between himself and 
the Pilgrim fathers, who were Separatists, while he was a member of and 
adherent to the Church of England. He joined Oldham and his colony at 
Nantasket, and lived on Governor's Island in Boston Harbor, which was for 
some time known as Conant's Island. During the following winter he was 
chosen by the Dorchester Company to govern their affairs at Cape Ann, and 
he proved himself a prudent ruler and skillful peacemaker. The settlers re- 
moved to Naumkeag, near Salem, in the fall of 1626. Mr. Conant was Gov- 
ernor of the colony for about three years. " Although he is not universally 
recognized as the first Governor of Massachusetts, he is fairly entitled to that 
honor, for the colony of which he was the head made the first permanent set- 
tlement in the Massachusetts Bay territory " (Hist, and Gen. of Conant 
Family). His character was distinguished by strict integrity, great moral 
courage, and an indomitable will; and he was, as well, tolerant and concilia- 
tory, and preferred the public good to his own private interests. He died at 
Beverly, Mass., in 1679. 

Dr. Bunton married (2d) Dec. 17, 1874, Sarah Jane Trevitt of Mt. 
Vernon, who died Dec. 16, 1899. He died Aug. 13, 1884. He was a man 
of sincere religious convictions and unquestioned Integrity, and ol» humane 
and benevolent disposition ; these qualities being peculiarly marked in his 
conscientious discharge of duty during his army service.

tion he still occupies. In 1875 he was elected Town Treasurer. 
For thirty years he was re-elected by a practically unanimous vote

ter of Capt. William Amold of Westmoreland, N. H. She died in Utica, 
N. Y., Nov. 2, 1863. 

" Col. Jewett fitted for college in the schools of Rindge and Jaffrey, 
N. H., and upon being encouraged to pursue a collegiate course of study on 
condition that he follow the profession of his father, he promptly chose to 
abandon the plan altogether, rather than be placed under such restrictions. 
It was apparently outside his plan for life to settle down in the quiet routine 
of professional labor. The War of 1812 soon presented an opportunity for 
the exercise of his ambition and youthful energies. Having been an officer 
in the Militia, in which he participated with enthusiasm, in the spring of 1812 
he was appJointed ensign in the Eleventh Infantry, then commanded by Col. 
Isaac Clark, but consolidated the following year with the Twenty-first Regi- 
ment, under the more efficient command of Col. Smith, and, soon after, of 
Col. Ripley. After an engagement of a few weeks in the recruiting service, 
he joined his regiment in July, and continued in active service until the close 
of the war, without absence from any cause of a single day. Sharing the 



Eighth Generation 367 

fortunes of his regiment, he was early inured to the hardships of a most 
severe service, which characterized the campaign that ensued. In 1814 
he was in Scott's Brigade, and participated in the battles of Chippewa and 
Lundy's Lane, and in the siege of Fort Erie. 

" At the close of the war, the love of adventure invited him to new 
fields of exploit and danger. Espousing the cause of General Carera, the 
Chilian leader of a revolt against the oppressive dominion of Spain, he ac- 
companied him to South America, and, after a long and tedious voyage, 
landed at Buenos Ayres, where he served two months as Major of the ' Direc- 
tor's Guard ' ; and subsequently, with only three companions, he crossed the 
country to Chili, over the rudest highway, which had been built by the Abo- 
rigines previous to the advent of the Spanish. The first nine hundred miles, 
with relays of horses, was performed in eleven and one-half days ; but this 
celerity was equalled by the slow and perilous journey across the Andes. 
One who has heard the thrilling story of that exploit from the lips of the 
gallant and intrepid adventurer, has kindly written an account of the daring 
feat." When arrived at Mendoza, he was told that to cross the mountains 
at that season would be impossible ; but he was determined at least to make 
an attempt. Starting upon mules, they slowly proceeded within four miles 
of the summit, when there came a snow-storm, which continued four days. 
They were sheltered, during that time, in an ancient stone building, erected 
by the Indians many years before for that purpose. Snow fell to a depth 
of four feet, and they were obliged to continue their journey on foot. In 
the afternoon they reached the base of the summit, or within a half mile of 
the height of the elevation w^hich was thirteen thousand feet above the level 
of the sea. About sunset they fortunately reached another building, but the 
intense cold compelled them to continue exercise within the house, to keep 
from freezing. The following day, their descent by sliding and tumbling 
through the snow was rapidly performed. About noon they arrived at a 
place where cattle were driven for pasture, and there obtained provisions 
and mules for the remainder of the journey. After an experience of many 
vicissitudes, occupying eleven days, a few hours past midnight they reached 
a village at the foot of the mountains, as much to the surprise of the Inhabi- 
tants as if they had fallen from the sky. The most dangerous point was at 
the rincon or comer, where the road was cut into a mountain of conglomerate, 
four hundred feet above, and nearly perpendicular to the river. The action 
of the frost had filled the roadway, until it was in its worst state. His men 
being devout Catholics, slid off their mules, and repeated their prayers; 
again mounting, they passed over in safety. He followed, but with feelings 
more intense than those experienced on many fields of battle. Giving loose 
rein to his mule, he turned his face toward the mountain. The animal slowly 
proceeded, trembling at every cautious step, like a leaf In the wind. The 
passage occupied perhaps ten minutes, but it seemed an hour; and he has 
frequently said he was truly grateful when he was safely over. Arriving in 
Chili, Col. Jewett served with distinction in the Cavalry until the successful 



368 Jewett Genealogy 

close of the war, when he sailed, by way of Cape Horn, for Rio Janeiro, 
where he remained two months, but not in idleness. He soon procured guides, 
and started for the diamond mines in the interior. Proceeding about three 
hundred miles, his chief man, or guide, fell over a precipice, and was instantly 
killed, which compelled him to abandon the enterprise, but he still vividly 
remembers the beautiful and grand scenery of that tropical country. 

" In 1818 Col. Jewett returned to Rindge, and, soon after, married 
Elizabeth Arnold of Westmoreland, N. H., a lady of many attractions and 
unusual loveliness of character, who was his cheerful companion in the jour- 
ney of life for forty-four years, remaining ever constant in her sympathies, 
and an unfailing helper in the noble pursuits whieh have characterized his 
life of scientific labor and usefulness. Col. Jewett remained in Rindge, resid- 
ing upon the farm of his father's until 1823, when he removed to Sackett's 
Harbor, N. Y., and three years later to Fort Niagara, of which he remained 
in charge during seventeen years. While at this place he devoted much 
time to the study of the natural sciences — a field of investigation and research 
in which he has won great renown. In 1843 he removed to Lockport, N. Y., 
and devoted his undivided time to the study of geology, traveling meanwhile 
in nearly every State in the Union, in tours of collection and investigation. 
After a residence of four years in Utica, N. Y., he was appointed in 1856 
to the sole charge of the Department of Natural History, at Albany, N. Y., 
a position which he filled with great credit to himself and incalculable benefit 
to science, for nearly ten years. Soon after the death of his wife, a loss 
wliich so changed his asperations that he no longer desired to remain where 
her companionship had given zest to his favorite pursuits, he found a home 
in the family of his daughter at Utica, N. Y. Here he became interested in 
a collection of shells in the possession of his daughter, who is an intelligent 
and proficient student of the science of conchology. With him, the purpose 
once formed, the deed was certain of accomplishment. He at once made two 
journeys to the Pacific, and spent four winters upon the Gulf of Mexico, 
collecting an incredible number and variety of shells, which were a most valu- 
able acquisition to the science of conchology. By numerous exchanges with 
students in this and other countries, he has now a collection of 12,000 spe- 
cies, named,. and many others known to the savants of the science. During 
these many years of scientific exploration and study, he has enjoyed a 
friendly correspondence and acquaintance with Agassiz, DeVemueil, and 
other distinguished scientists. 

" Col. Jewett is tall, and of a commanding personal appearance. His 
features are regular and attractive, and his manner dignified and courteous. 
The daring adventures of his youth attest his courage, as his varied attain- 
ments assert his ability. Unbent with years and unwearied with prolonged 
study and labor, he still pursues his favorite pursuits with all the zeal of 
youth. His enthusiasm and activity, his well-preserved physical and men- 
tal powers, are remarkable, which he ascribes to his outdoor life and busy 
interest in studies, so free from the excitement and corroding care insep-

2292 JOHN LIGHT JEWETT (Joseph"°% Jacob*", Joseph 
Jonathan®^, Joseph^^, Maximilian^, Edward^), was born in Portsmouth, 

N. H., Oct. 28, 1809. He married in Boston, Mass., Aug. , 1832, 

Mary Dillingham, daughter of Asa and Drusella B. (Noble) Dillingham. 
She was born in Martha's Vineyard Aug. 14, 1808, and died in New York 
City Aug. 1, 1883. 

At an early age Mr. Jewett entered a printing office in his native town ; 
a few years afterwards, and while yet a youth, he removed to Boston, and 
worked at his trade as compositor, pressman, and proof-reader. It was here 
that he commenced the study of the French language, of which he became 
a thorough student. Shortly after his marriage he removed to New York, 
where he resided uninterruptedly until his death ; occupied, most of the time, 
in proof-reading, and employing his few leisure hours in translating ar- 
ticles for Newspapers and Reviews. Mr. Jewett was a reader, at different 
periods, for the Appletons, the Harpers, the Methodist Book Concern, and 
other eminent publishing houses ; and, at the time of his decease, for Pool 
and Maclaughlin ; by all of whom he was highly appreciated, and intrusted 
with the revision of their most difficult works in the English and foreign 
languages. He was one of the founders of the American Swedenborg Print- 
ing and Publishing Societ}'^, and edited the " New Jerusalem Messenger " — 
a weekly New Church newspaper — from its commencement, in 1855, till 
1862. An earnest student of the writings of the Swedish seer, he was much 
esteemed and respected as an expounder of them by his New Church friends. 
Other editorial and literary labors of Mr. Jewett were chiefly : " Ollen- 
dorff's Method of Speaking and Writing the French Language ", a work 
which became extensively known, and passed through several editions ; 
" Jewett's Spiers French and English Dictionary ", octavo and duodecimo 
sizes ; " DeFivas French Reader " ; Translations from the French, for the 



396 Jewett Genealogy 

" Methodist Quarterly Review " ; together with translations from the German 
and Spanish. 

On the 17th of January, 1849 — the anniversary of the birthday of 
Benjamin Franklin — the event was commemorated by the New York Typo- 
graphical Society. The exercises were held in the old Coliseum building on 
Broadway, and were of unusual interest. Among the honored guests were 
Washington Irving, William Cullen Bryant, John Inman, Francis Hall, 
Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, Dr. Francis, and other eminent men of 
that day. Peter C. Baker presided. Mr. Jewett pronounced the Oration — 
" Franklin " — the most highly finished original production of his pen ; a 
model of thought and style, and worthy of high rank as a classic in American 
literature. 

Mr. Jewett was a man of uncommon ability and acquirements ; an 
earnest seeker after truth, and a sincere lover of it for its own sake. To a 
subtle and powerful intellect was united a forcible and elegant diction. 
In forming his style as a writer of pure and correct English, he bestowed 
great care and attained a high standard. 

His health, always delicate, failed very perceptibly in the latter years 
of his life, and after his retirement from the editorial duties of the Messenger 
he undertook no literary labor outside of his ordinary occupation. On the 
morning of June 11, 1873, after a short illness and with comparatively little 
suffering, he passed peacefully away to the higher life. The funeral ser- 
vices took place at the New Church, in Thirty-fifth Street. The remains 
were interred at Woodlawn Cemetery.

big with the fate and honor of a country, was ushered in by the roaring 
of cannon, which made the building shake, the hills resound, and hearts 
quake with fear, and forcibly reminded a person who was to be made Presi- 
dent. At an early hour the crowd began to collect, composed of all sorts, 
sizes, colors, ages, sexes, occupations, and grades, such a motley crew has 
never been together, I know, since the building of the Tower of Babel. Be- 
tween ten and eleven, the procession was formed and the old General pro- 
ceeded from his boarding house on foot to the Capitol, the distance being 
about a quarter of a mile. When he arrived, he took his seat in the Senate 
Chamber, with the Supreme Judges on his right, and the Foreign ministers 
on his left. He remained there for nearly an hour, during which time the 
new Senators and Vice-President Calhoun, took their oaths of office. In the 
meantime the multitude collected in and around the Capitol, to the number 
of about ten thousand, according to the several calculations. The inaugura- 
tion took place at twelve in the east portico of the Capitol. The members 
of Congress, Foreign Ministers, etc., and all the ladies that could, assembled 
in the portico, the remainder of the crowd, on the ground in front. When 
the old General came out with the Vice President of his left, and Judge 
Marshall on his right, he was hailed with three cheers from the crowd, and 
saluted by two Companies of Artillery stationed at a little distance, and a 
band struck up " Yankee Doodle ". He then mounted a horse and rode 
to the President's house (which had been vacated a few days before by Mrs. 
Adams) and there received all who came. He and Mr. Adams, though for- 
merly friends, have not met since he came here and probably will not. It 
is said to be owing to the influence of Jackson's friends. It is a vile violation 
of all courtesy. The General's health is poor, and he looks pale and feeble. 
His shape is what Mrs. Royal would call, long, lean, lank, and lantern 
jawed, and that is all I have to say about him. 

" Many of the members of Congress are the most debauched scoundrels 
m the country. I am very glad Mr. Sprague is chosen senator for he is a 
man who is much respected here by both parties, although he is considered 
a firm Adams' man. The city is full of strangers of all sorts, from the man 
of pleasure, who comes to see the show, to the fawning cycnphant, who 
modestly expects the reward of his labors from the new Administration. 
Among the number there are said to be upwards of twenty editors. Thoy 
all waited upon the old Gen'l. the other day en masse. I believe the ap- 
pointments of the new Cabinet have given universal surprise. Eaton, Branch 
and Ingham, were very unexpected. Even DufF Green himself has not 
ventured a word in their praise, and you may well suppose by that, there 
IS not much ground for it. Speaker Stevenson, I understand, has exprcssod 
his decided disapprobation, and the Richmond Inquirer has sniffed up its 
nose and looked sulky. There has been considerable said about Eaton's 
wife, but I can not say how true it is. It is a fact, however, that she is a 
woman of very little education, and of uncouth manners, and some of the 
first ladies in the city will not visit her and it has created a disturbance. I

believe our leading characters are becoming, many of them, as bad as those 
in Europe." 

Mr. Jewett, though many times in Washington, and at one time senator, 
never witnessed another inauguration, until he attended McKinley's, sixty- 
eight years later. At that time he went to the inauguration ball, where he 
walked about for three hours, " getting a little tired " he wrote, " but was 
all right in the morning." 

From the Bangor (Maine) Commercial: " The death on Sunday of 
Daniel Tarbox Jewett, Esq., at his home in St. Louis ended a very notable 
life and removed from the sphere of the world's activities the oldest member 
of the Penobscot county bar. Mr. Jewett, who was 99 years of age, prac- 
ticed his profession in this city 75 years ago and is remembered by Albert 
W. Paine, Esq., the Nestor of Maine's lawyers." 

The Commercial has the following sketch of his life, as related by him- 
self: 

" I was born September 14, 1807, in the town of Pittston, Me., about 
two miles from the Kennebec river. About 1790 my father bought 100 
acres of land in Pittston, covered with a growth of beech, birch and maple 
trees, and ' cleared up ' about eight acres of it and put into grass and 
pasture and tillage land before my recollection. The same farai has been 
owned by the family ever since, and is now owned by a grandson. He also 
owned what is called, in Maine, ' pine timber land ', and in the winters he cut 
and hauled pine logs to a sawmill which he owned, and sawed them in the 
spring, and shipped the boards to Boston for sale. The neighborhood was a 
prosperous farming community and we had a ' town school ' of 40 or 50 
scholars for about three months in the winter. I worked on a farm in the 
summer, as soon as I was old enough, and took care of the cattle and sheep 
in the winter and went to the schools in the winter and also in the summer, 
until too large for the mistress to teach. 

" When I was 17 years and about six months old my father allowed me 
to quit the farm and to commence the study of Latin and Greek, to fit me 
for college. My next older brother was then in college — he was five years 
older than I. I entered Waterville College, in Maine (now called Colby 
University) in September, 1826. 

" I remained there two years. It was a ' Baptist college ', and in 1828 
the head professor was chosen president of the Columbia College in Wash- 
ington, D. C, and he persuaded me to leave Waterville and go to Washing- 
ton to the college over which he was to preside. I did so, and was grad- 
uated from that college in 1830. 

" General Jackson, by invitation of the college, was on the stage when 
my class made our graduation speeches. Sixty-eight years after seeing him 
inaugurated, I witnessed the inauguration of William McKinley as President. 
I was also present at the ball, but did not dance. 

" While in college in Washington, I went by stage to Baltimore to see 
the first piece of railroad ever built in this country. This was in 1829. 



Eighth Genekation 411 

The line was 12 miles long from Baltimore to Elicott Mills. We, were 
hauled by horses, as there were no steam engines then. The rails were flat 
strips of iron, laid lengthwise on the timbers. The road is now a part of 
the Baltimore & Ohio. 

"After I graduated from college in 1830, I went to Virginia, and 
taught school for three years, two in a private institution. I studied law 
the two years I was teaching the private school, and made them count as two 
of the years required by the laws of Maine for admission to the bar. 

" In the winter of 1833 I returned to Maine and went to the law scliool 
in Cambridge, Mass. I left there late that year and went to Bangor, Me., 
where my elder brother was practicing law. I further pursued my studies 
there until April, 1834, when I was admitted to the bar. I practiced law 
there until the end of 1850. In December, 18-18, I married Miss Sarah 
Wilson of Belfast, Me. Her father was an eminent lawyer, originally from 
New Hampshire. He had been a member of Congress for one or two terms 
while Maine was a part of Massachusetts. 

" In November, 1850, my brother, the lawyer, who had crossed the 
Isthmus of Panama, in 1845, on his way to Lima, Peru, where he was ap- 
pointed by Pros. Polk as a second grade minister, said to me that if I would 
go with him he would put a small stern-wheel steamer on the Chagres river 
to carry passengers going to California, up the river about 40 miles, and 
he thought we could make a good deal of money by it. I agreed to go, and 
we shipped the machinery and materials for a boat to Aspinwall, or Colon, 
as now called, the point where the Panama Railroad was started to be built, 
and also shipped men to put up the boat and run it, cut wood for it, etc. 

" We went from New York to Chagres in a steamer that carried 
passengers on their way to California, by way of the Chagres river and the 
land passage across the Isthmus. B}' the time we got our boat built and on 
the river most of our men had been sick and got frightened at the climate, 
and had run away, either home or to California. We had just enough loft 
to manage the boat, and we hired natives to cut wood and some to work on 
the boat. 

" My brother was taken sick in three or four months, and I had to send 
him home a very sick man, but he got well and lived until he was about 90 
years old. I stayed there over two years, coming home once in the mean- 
time. By that time the railroad had got so far up the river that our boat 
was not profitable, and I took out the machinery and sold the hull for a 
lunchhouse on the river. 

" We saved ourselves and made something, but not half enough to pay 
for the risk of life and property. I then thought I would take a look at 
CaHfomia. That was in the spring of 1853. I remained in San Francisco 
for several months examining the Mexican land law, as land titles, at that 
time, were very much mixed. 

" In the fall a friend of mine there owned a large interest in a ditch 
canal, that brings water from a river to the ' gulches ' where is found small 



419 Jewett Genealogy 

lumps and particles of gold, and he wanted me to buy an interest in it, 
and go to the upper part of California, where it was, and take charge of it. 

" I did so, and went there and remained about two years, until the fall 
of 1855. I then thought the ' gulch ' was about worked out, and as my wife 
and children were in Maine, and there was no railroad across the continent, 
I came home to Bangor. 

" In coming home I took the Vanderbilt line and crossed the Isthmus 
at the Nicaragua route, where we took mules for about 25 miles, and then 
a steamer across Lake Nicaragua, and then down the river, or outlet of the 
lake, to the Carribean sea; thence by steamer to New York. This is the 
only place, in my opinion, where a canal can be built to connect the two 
oceans. A large lake on high ground would furnish water each way. The 
lake is 50 miles wide and 150 miles long, and is on the highest ground. 

" As my law business in Bangor was broken up, I concluded to come 
West and in 1856, I traveled over a considerable portion of the West, and 
concluded to move to St. Louis. 

" In the spring of 1857, I came to St. Louis and bought a lot in Stod- 
dard Addition and built a house on Morgan street, on the block between 
Ewing and Garrison avenues, and moved into it in the fall of 1857, where 
I have lived ever since. 

" In 1860 I formed a law partnership with the late Britton A. Hall, 
which lasted until the spring of 1872, since which time I have been alone in 
my law business. In the fall of 1866 I was elected a member of the House 
of Representatives in the State Legislature for 1867-1868, serving with 
Col. D. Pat Dyer, then quite a young man. In the winter of 1867 we elected 
Charles D. Drake, United States senator. 

" While I was in the Legislature we sold all the railroads of the State, 
except the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, because they were in a very un- 
finished condition, and had not for six years or more paid any interest on 
about $30,000,000 of bonds, which the State had in 1852-1853 issued for 
their benefit. 

" The Republican party, of which I was then a member, in the fall of 
1870 was very much divided on the question of the re-election of Gov. Mc- 
Clurg, and also upon the matter of striking out of the then constitution of 
the State a provision which prohibited from voting those who had been active 
in or had been in favor of the Southern side of the Civil War. 

" At the Republican convention in November, 1870, of which I was a 
member, the contest was very hot, and after a three days controversy a 
majority of the convention re-nominated Gov. INIcClurg, but a large minority 
bolted and nominated Gratz Brown. The Democrats made no nominations 
that year, but voted for Brown, and he was elected, the Legislature also 
being Democratic. 

" Pres. Grant, in December, 1870, appointed Senator Charles D. Drake 
chief justice of the court of claims in Washington, and a month later Gov. 
McClurg appointed me to succeed Judge Drake in the Senate.

"Gen. Frank P. Blair had joined the Democrat party, and I served 
in the Senate until his election. Since then I have never sought office. 

" I was too old to enlist in the Civil War, though my sympathies were 
with the North. I was a member of what was known as the Home Guards, 
which was composed of men too old to enlist, but young enough to fight. 
We were under command of Capt. Clark." 

Mr. Jewett continued to live in St. Louis up to the time of his death, 
which occurred suddenly Oct. 7, 1906, at the remarkable age of 99 years

2448 SAMUEL AUGUSTUS JEWETT (Samuel H.--, Jonathan'"

Me., April 25, 1831. He married in Whitefield, Me., March 25, IHGo! 
Lavinia Cooper, daughter of Freeman and Susan (Blackman) Coope'r. She 
was born in Whitefield, May 15, 1840, and died in Pittston, Oct. 17, 1895. 
A lady of most estimable character. 

Mr. Jewett received his early education in the town schools of his native 

place and lived there until Oct. 15, 1851, when he went West and settled 

in Illinois and Iowa, where he remained about two years and a half. May 

.5, 1853, he, with a party of men, started for Califomia ; he drove a ten ox 

.team across the plains, and arrived at Placcrville Aug. 25th of that ycSr, 

where he worked in the mines until May , 1854. He then went to 

Nevada, on a trading tour, returning to Cahfornia in October, 1854, and 
was again in the mines until April 1858, when he returned to Maine, and 
bought a farm on Beech Hill, Pittston, where he now resides. 

Mr. Jew^ett is a man of strong character, honest and upright in all his 
dealings, and is highly respected by all who know him. He has often held 
public office, and takes an active interest in the affairs of his town. He 
was a member of the Board of Selectmen for the years 1880, 1881, 1882- 
1891, 1892 and 1896 and has been Chairman of the Republican Town Com- 
mittee since 1891.

2450 HON. GORHAM PARSON HALE JEWETT (Samuel H.'=", 
Jonathan^^^, Moses^'^^, Jonathan*'^, Joseph", Maximilian^ Edward'), was born 
in Pittston, Me., Feb. 26, 1836. He married there, Dec. 30, 1867, Caroline 
Augusta Bradstreet, who was born in Pittston, Dec. 30, 1845, daughter of 
Charles Edward and Abigail (Smith) Bradstreet. 

As a young man Mr. Jewett was a school teacher in his native town a 
few years, which, he always said, formed the foundation of his future career, 
as it gave him a thorough understanding of human nature in its various 
phases. In September, 1861, he went to California, where he was a 
prospector for a while; finally he bought some land on the San Joaquni 
river, where he lived several years, and at the same time acted as agent for a 
steamboat company, which conducted a line of steamers on that river with 
its terminal in San Francisco. He returned to Pittston, in 1866, and 
entered the grocery business. His health, which was never robust, failing.

he abandoned this in a few years, and became engaged in general speculation, 
so he could pass his time in the open air. For several years he would live in 
Maine during the summer months, and in the fall, charter a vessel, load it 
with Northern produce, and sail for I'lorida, where he would dispose of his 
cargo, and through the winter use the vessel in the rice trade between the 
Florida Keys and Savannah. In the spring he would load the vessel with 
Southern produce, wliich he would dispose of in the Northern markets dur- 
ing the summer. Subsequently he engaged in the cattle business, buying 
in Maine, and shipping to the Brighton and Watertown, Mass., markets. 
He later formed a partnership with the late Daniel Glidden of Pittston. 
They bought a tract of forest land in Pittston, about two miles from the 
Kennebec river, where for a number of years they had a large crew of men 
employed in cutting and hewing ship-timber which they shipped down the 
Kennebec, to the ship-yards of Bath. In 1890, having cut all the timber 
on the land, he again entered the grocery business in Randolph, Me., which 
business he successfully conducted until his death from neuralgia of the heart. 
Mr. Jewett always displayed an active interest in politics, renouncing 
his affiliation with the Republican party and becoming a Democrat about 
1860. He was Chairman of the Town Democratic Committee a number of 
years; Supervisor of the schools of Pittston three years; Town Treasurer 
several terms; member of the Board of Selectmen of Pittston a number of 
years, and was elected to the Legislature of Maine in 1887, being the first 
Democrat ever elected from his district. 

From Biographical Sketches of the Members of the House of Repre- 
sentatives of Maine, 1887 : " Gorham P. H. Jewett, Pittston, Democrat, 
a believer in universal progression, lumberman, married, age 50. Born in 
Pittston, educated in the common schools and at Litchfield Institute. Su- 
pervisor of schools three years ; Chairman of the Committee for the town of 
Pittston to negotiate for the purchase of the Gardiner and Pittston Bridge, 
and make it free. Formerly a Republican." 

He was a member of the Joint Standing Committee on Labor, and 
introduced and had passed several important bills ; the most important was 
the one creating the new town of West Pittston, over which there was a long 
and hard parliamentary struggle. Later in the same session he introduced a 
bill changing the name of the town from West Pittston to Randolph, which 
was passed, and the place is now known by that name. He was one of the 
ardent supporters of the bill which abohshed the death penalty in Maine. 

On the organization of Randolph (of which Mr. Jewett was called its 
father) he was elected Chairman of the first Board of Selectmen, which 
position he held a number of terms. He was always foremost in every 
enterprise to aid and promote the interest and welfare of Randolph, and was 
noted for his strict honesty, charity, and solicitude for the poor and un- 
fortunate. He died Nov. 8, 1897. Buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Ran- 
dolph. 

From the Reporter- Journal, Gardiner, Maine : " A feeling of surprise

and sadness was felt in the community this forenoon when the word was given 
out that Mr. G. P. H. Jewett, the well-known Randolph trader, had died 
suddenly at his home in that town of heart failure. 

" Mr. Jewett went to his store this morning apparently in his usual 
health and was shortly taken with the ill turn. He was immediately taken 
to his home and medical assistance summoned, but he was beyond relief and 
died in a very short time after being first taken. He had suffered consider- 
ably from heart trouble, having had several serious attacks, but not for a 
long time. 

" In September, 1861, he went to California, via the Isthmus of Panama, 
returning to Pittston, via the Nicaragua route, in 1866, and engaged in 
business with Mr. A. C. Clark. This firm dissolved after several years of 
successful business. Later Mr. Jewett entered business alone, in which he 
has been continuously up to the present time. He has been prominent in 
town affairs, holding the position of Chairman of the Board of Selectmen 
several terms, a member of the Board of Supervisors, Representative to the 
Legislature, and other important positions. He was a just, upright, and 
honorable man, and no better eulogy can be pronounced in this sad hour, 
than the words spoken this forenoon to the R-J., by a poor, but respectable 
citizen of Randolph, who said: 'When you speak of Mr. Jewett, I wish 
you would say this, and you can say it honestly, if a word was ever spoken, 
that the poor people of Randolph have lost their best friend. No poor 
man in a hard place ever went to Gorham Jewett for assistance but what 
he got it, whether he was already under obligations to him or not. He 
was the poor man's friend, and surely in his death a great calamity has 
befallen them. Mr. Jewett was a square man in every sense that the word 
implies.' 

" These words so earnestly spoken with the tears coursing down his 
cheeks, came direct from the heart, and kind reader, the thought came to 
the writer at that time, what a grand eulogy. Certainly if when life's fitful 
fever is ended, one can leave behind such a record in the community, even 
if expressed by the humblest of his acquaintances and couched in the simplest 
language, it will stand to his everlasting credit, greater by far than any 
earthly tribute, speaks louder than volumes of meaningless praise and a 
monument to a pleasant, fragrant memory, stronger and more enduring 
than the costliest granite or marble pile." 

From the same publication, Nov. 11, 1897: " The remains of Gorham 
P. H. Jewett were tenderly placed by his Masonic brethren in the family 
lot in Maple Grove Cemetery this afternoon, the funeral taking place nt 
the home on Windsor street at two o'clock. Rev. E. B. Barber conducted 
the services which consisted of reading of the Scriptures, a brief address, 
prayer and benediction. The Masonic burial service was performed at 
the grave, Senior Warden T. A. Jewett acting as Master, and Charles O. 
Turner as Chaplain. All of the stores in Randolph were closed during the 
time of the funeral."

Mrs. Jewett died in Randolph, Aug. 11, 1900. Buried in Maple Grove 
Cemetery. Her ancestors were among the most distinguished of the early 
settlers of America, and to their efforts and wise ruling much of the success 
of the Massachusetts Colony was due. Her father, Charles Edward Brad- 
street, bom in Pittston, Me., Oct. 15, 1812; married Abigail Smith; died in 
Pittston, April 3, 1892 ; son of Joseph Bradstreet, bom in Biddeford, Me., 
Jan. 21, 1765 ; married Ruth Moore ; died in Pittston, May 14, 1868 ; son of 
Andrew Bradstreet, born in Windham, Conn., March 28, 1722 ; married 
(1st) Mary Hill, who died in 1771; married (2d) Joanna Hill; died in 
Gardiner, Me., in 1804; son of John Bradstreet, bom in Topsfield, Mass., 
Jan. 30, 1693; married Rebecca Andrews, daughter of John and Sarah (Dick- 
inson) Andrews; son of John Bradstreet, born in Andover, Mass., July 22, 
1652 ; married Sarah, daughter of Rev. William Perkins ; died in Topsfield, 
Mass., Jan. 17, 1717 ; son of Governor Simon Bradstreet, bom in Horbling, 
Eng., in 1603; married in England, about 1628, Anna, daughter of Governor 
Thomas Dudley; came to America in 1630, in the ship Arbella; Governor 
of Massachusetts Colony: died in Salem, Mass., March 27, 1694. His wife 
Anna died in Andover, Mass., Sept. 16, 1672. She was a woman of rare 
accomplishments, and wrote a volume of poems, probably the earliest in 
America, a second edition of which was published in 1678. She was born 
in England, in 1612. Her father. Gov. Thomas Dudley, was " one of the 
most distinguished of the Puritan settlers of New England, and second 
Governor of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay ; was born at Northampton, 
in the neighborhood of the residence of the Earl of Northampton, in the 
year 1576. He was the only son of Capt. Roger Dudley, who was slain in 
battle. Being left an orphan, he was taken into the family of the Earl 
of Northampton, where he remained several years. He received the com- 
mand of a company for the French service, marched to the field, and was 
at the siege of Amiens. On the conclusion of a treaty of peace Capt. 
Dudley returned to England and settled in the neighborhood of North- 
ampton. Here he married " a gentlewoman whose extraction and estate 
were considerable." It was not long after this that Lord Say and Seal, 
and other persons of quality, recommended INIr. Dudley to Theophilus, the 
fourth Earl of Lincoln, and he became steward of the household and man- 
ager of the Earl's affairs. He remained about ten years . . . when he 
removed to Boston, in Lincolnshire, where he became a parishioner of the 
famous John Cotton, and the associate of those noble spirits who were soon 
to lay the foundations of religious freedom in the new world. Nevertheless 
the Earl of Lincoln prevailed with him to resume his former employment, 
until the storm of persecution upon the nonconformists caused many men 
of great worth to transport themselves into New England. 

Mr. Dudley was one of the five undertakers of the settlement of the 
Massachusetts colony, and came over with the charter in 1630. He was 
far advanced in life for such an undertaking, being 54 years of age. Before 
the sailing of the fleet, while the Arbella, in which he embarked, was riding 



Eighth Generation 423 

at anchor in the harbor of Cowes, Mr. Dudley was chosen deputy governor 
in the place of John Humphrey, who remained behind. 

Mr. Dudley was chosen Governor at the meeting of the General Court 
in May, 1634. This was the beginning of a new era in the history of tlie 
colony. It was the first Legislature in which the representative principle 
was recognized. 

The General Court, at this session, also established a military com- 
mission, vested with the most unlimited authority. At the head of this 
commission Gov. Dudley was placed, having Winthrop, Humphrey, Hayes 
Endicott, Coddington, Pynchon, Nowell, Bellingham, and Bradstreet for 
his associates. 

The following year Gov. Dudley was superseded by John Hayes, after- 
ward Governor of Connecticut. He was chosen assistant in 1635, and 
in the following year, when Sir Henry Vane was Governor. For the years 
1637, '38 and '39 he was Deputy Governor. In 1640 Mr. Dudley was 
again chosen Governor, and was succeeded by Richard Bellingham in 1641. 
In 1645 he was again chosen Governor, and he was Deputy Governor from 
1646 to 1649. In 1650 he was for the fourth time elected Governor; was 
Deputy Governor in the two following years, and assistant in 1653, in 
which office he died. He died in Roxbury on the 31st of July, 1653, in the 
77th year of his age. 

He married his first wife in England. She died Sept. 27, 1643. In 
the following year he married Mrs. Catherine Hackbume, widow of Samuel 
Hackburne. This lady survived Gov. Dudley, and married Rev. John 
Allen of Dedham. 

Dugdale produces evidence to show that Edmund Dudley, the privy 
counselor of Henry VII, was the son, or grandson, of John Dudley, a car- 
penter, and of very humble origin — and not descended from the family of 
Sutton, Baron of Dudley, in Staffordshire, as was pretended by the Duke. 
It was the marriage of Edmund Dudley with Elizabeth, the daughter and 
heiress of Sir Edward Grey, Viscount Lisle, that gave to him his family 
distinction, and his talents gave him his influence and power. He was 
born in 1462, became a lawyer and privy counselor to Henry VII, and 
speaker of the House of Commons in 1505. He retained the favor of this 
monarch, who bestowed upon him great wealth. Henry VIII inherited his 
father's treasurer, but not his friendships; and Dudley was beheaded on 
Tower Hill, Aug. 22, 1510. 

John Dudley, the son of Edmund, was born in 1502, and after the 
accession of Edward VI was made Earl of Warwick, and, in 1551, Duke 
of Northumberland. He fell in the vain attempt to raise his daughter-in- 
law, the Lady Jane Grey, wife of Lord Guilford Dudley, to the throne, 
as successor of Edward, and was beheaded by order of Queen ^fary, Feb. 
22, 1553. Sir Robert Dudley, son of the Duke of Northumberland, born 
1532, was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, by whom, in 1564, he was made 
Baron of Denbigh and Earl of Leicester. He died Sept. 4, 1588. Ambrose 



424 Jewett Genealogy 

Dudley, brother of the Earl of Leicester, who died at Bedford House, near 
London, Feb. 21, 1589, was " deservedly called the good Earl of Warwick.'* 

The Duke of Northumberland had eight sons and five daughters, and 
from one of these sons the Rev. Samuel Dudley, son of Governor Thomas, 
supposed his family to have been derived. (" Lives of the Governors of 
New Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay," by Jacob Bailey Moore.) 

Governor Bradstreet's father was Rev. Simon Bradstreet, who was 
" one of the earliest fellows of Emmanuel College, Cambridge." Afterward 
he was a minister of Lincolnshire, and a nonconformist at home, as well as 
when preaching abroad, at Middleburgh. Going back another generation, 
we learn from Mather and Hutchinson, that the Governor's grandfather 
was " a Suffolk gentleman of fine estate " (N. E. H. and G. R.). 

The " Dictionary of American Biography " (Drake) gives the fol- 
lowing: "Bradstreet, Simon, governor of Mass., born in Horbling, Lin- 
colnshire, Eng., March, 1603; died in Salem, Mass., March 27, 1697. Bred 
in the religious family of the Earl of Lincoln, after studying one year at 
Emmanuel College, Cambridge, he became steward to the Countess of War- 
wick. Having married Anne, daughter of Thomas Dudley, he was per- 
suaded to engage in the settlement of Massachusetts ; was chosen assistant- 
judge of a court about to be established there, and arrived in Salem in the 
summer of 1630. He took part in the proceedings of the first court held 
in Charlestown, Aug. 23 ; became agent and secretary of Massachusetts, 
and commissioner of the United Colonies. In 1631, he was among the 
founders of Cambridge. He was among the first settlers of Andover, and 
resided also at Ipswich, Salem, and Boston. In 1653, he, with his colleagues, 
vigorously^ and successfully opposed making war on the Dutch in New York, 
and on the Indians ; though it was strongly urged by all the commissioners of 
the other Colonies. In 1662, he was sent to England to congratulate Charles 
II on his restoration, and to act as agent for the Colony. He was assistant 
from 1630 to 1679; governor from 1679 to 1686, when the charter was 
annulled. He strenuously opposed the arbitrary measures of Andros, and 
after his overthrow in May, 1689, was again governor until May, 1692, 
when, at the age of 89, he became first counsel. He was in service of the 
government 62 years, except during the brief administrations of Dudley 
and Andros. He was a popular magistrate ; a man of great integrity, 
piety, and prudence; was opposed to the witch delusion in 1692, and lived 
to be the Nestor of New England. He advised the surrender of the charter 
of Massachusetts to Charles II, warily distrusting the ability of the Col- 
onists to resist." 

John Norton says of his wife Anne: 

" Her breast was a brave palace, a broad street, 
Where all heroic, ample thoughts did meet, 
Where nature such a tenement had ta'en. 
That other souls, to hers, dwelt in a lane."

try, enlisted for its defense as a private in Co. K, First Maine Cavalry, and 
served three years, then re-enlisting as a veteran in the same regiment and 
serving through the war; honorably discharged in August, 1865, receiving 
the thanks and commendation of General Smith in his official report. His 
record during the service is one of which he may well feel proud, to say 
nothing of the intense satisfaction of having nobly done his part of the 
work of suppressing the rebellion, and which was fully appreciated by the 
government in his frequent promotions, the last being the command of his 
company; and on Jan. 28, 1865, he was appointed provost marshal of the 
Third Brigade, Second Division of Sheridan's Corps, on the staff of Major- 



428 Jewett Genealogy 

General C. H. Smith, occupying this position until mustered out of service. 
Active, energetic, and full of life^ his career, although of fortunate termi- 
nation, was marked with a bold, reckless disregard of life and a fearless- 
ness of all danger; participating in all the battles of the Army of the 
Potomac, having two horses shot under him, the last at Brandy Station, 
where he was taken prisoner on the 9th of June, 1863, and was taken to 
and confined in Libby Prison. He returned to his regiment in September 
of the same year.

Eighth Generation 437 

She was born in Weare, N. H., April 19, 1815, and died in Lincoln, Cal., 
March 13, 1880. Mr. Jewett was one of the hardy pioneers of California, 
going there in 1852; he later returned to the East after his family, and in 
1860 settled on a farm in Placer County, near where now stands the city 
of Lincoln. As a boy he received but little education, yet he was always a 
leader among men, and it was surprising the way he could hold an audience 
when making a public address. If his language was not by rule, he never 
failed to make himself understood, or to convince his listeners that he knew 
what he was talking about. He was president of a mining company for a 
few years, and finally took up government land near Lincoln, Cal., and 
went to farming, which occupation he afterward continued in Haniford 
until his death, March 10, 1899. In 1863 he was commissioned First Lieu- 
tenant of the Lincoln and Virginia Home Guards by Frederick F. Low, 
Governor of California. The towns of Lincoln and Virginia were situated 
in a location where there were many Southern sympathizers, and this com- 
pany found a plenty to do to keep them from open revolt. The company 
was thoroughly drilled in marching and target-shooting; they were often 
called to suppress trouble, and an uprising followed by bloodshed of grave 
magnitude was only averted by their efficient work. Mr. Jewett and his 
wife were members of the Baptist Church, of which he was a deacon.

Eighth Generation 441 

" No man in Athens was more beloved than Major Jewett. He 
was a jolly, good-natured soul, with a word of good cheer for 
all whom he met. Everyone knew him and he knew everyone. His 
was a genial disposition, and he never wounded nor gave offense. 
His circle of friends was limited only by the number of his ac- 
quaintances. His beautiful home, facing the Ohio University 
campus, was ever open to his friends, and the Major was never 
happier than when they would gather and spend the evening with 
him. He was exceedingly fond of music, and frequently musical 
programmes were rendered at his home for the entertainment of 
his friends. He had no enemies ; everyone was his friend. Major 
Jewett lived his entire life in Athens, excepting when he was in 
the service, fighting for his country. He was a student at the 
Ohio University, and at the time that the war commenced between 
the North and South he left college and went to the front. He 
fought throughout the war and was in many fierce battles, such 
as Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. He was a member of the 
Sixty-first Ohio Regiment of Infantry and served as captain. 
After the war closed he was brevetted a Major, and was always 
given that title by his friends. 

" No man in this section of the State was better posted on the 
history of the war than Major Jewett. During all his long service 
he kept a diary, and each evening made a note of the events of 
the day, and by consulting this book he could tell where he was 
and what he was doing on any day of that long struggle. After 
returning from the service, when the war had closed, he read law 
with his father, and was admitted to practice. He was elected 
prosecuting attorney of Athens County and served two terms. 
He also served two terms as probate judge. For many years the 
firm of DeSteiguer & Jewett was considered one of the strongest 
law firms in southeastern Ohio. After Mr. DeSteiguer was elected 
to the bench, Major Jewett continued the practice alone until 
Judge J. M. Wood succeeded him to the bench, when the Major 
formed a partnership with J. P. Wood, and this partnership con- 
tinued until his death. He was a good lawyer, an industrious 
student of the law, and ever vigilant in looking after the interests 
of his clients. He was strictly honest and faithful to every trust. 

" Major Jewett was for a great number of years actively en- 
gaged in politics, and as chairman of the controlling committee 
of his party carried it to many a victory. He was a good speaker 
and took an active part in political campaigns, and less than three 
weeks before his death made political speeches in this county. 

" For many years the Major was a member of the Board of 
Trustees of the Ohio University, and only recently resigned that 
position. He was also auditor and secretary of the board, and 



443 Jewett Genealogy 

retained this position until his death. He took a decided interest 
in the welfare of the old university. 

"Major Jewett was a member of all the Masonic bodies of 
Athens, and was also a charter member of the lodge of Elks in this 
city. 

" In the year 1871 he was married to Miss Etta Reynolds, She 
passed away thirty years later, and since that time the Major has 
resided alone, but surrounded by his friends and having the good- 
will of everyone. 

" The funeral services were very fittingly held in the college 
auditorium, where the Major had for years spoken to the students 
and elicited storms of applause by his eloquence. All places of 
business were closed at 2 p. m., and probably never before in the 
history of Athens was a funeral so largely attended. The Athens 
Commandery of Knights Templars directed the services and con- 
ducted their impressive ceremony. Dr. R. F. Bishop of the M. E. 
Church officiated in the absence of Dr. Slutz, speaking in an 
appropriate way. He presumed that when all of the Major's 
friends had solved the problem of existence they would still find 
him smiling the same and reaching forth the same glad hand of 
friendship. Rev. Bishop was followed by President Ellis, Judge 
Wood, and Gren. Grosvenor, each of whom payed a simple yet 
glowing tribute to the loved memory of the deceased. The Major's 
big-heartedness was the main theme of each. 

" After the conclusion of the ceremonies the body laid in state 
in the vestibule of Ewing Hall, draped with the flag of the Loyal 
Legion. The funeral procession, led by the Athens Juvenile Band 
and followed by the different orders, was formed on Court Street, 
when it slowly marched to the new cemetery, where the body was 
interred beneath a wilderness of flowers. Before his death the 
Major often suggested an epitaph which was very characteristic 
of his personality — " He had a good time."

July 16, 1819, and died June 12, 1891. 

]\Ir. Jewett was one of the most prominent men of his State ; besides being 
known as one of the foremost farmers of Addison Count}', he was active in 
State politics and in one of the Democratic State Conventions he lacked but 
one vote of being nominated for governor ; his successful competitor being 
elected. Under Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, he was sent as bearer 
of dispatches from the U. S. Government to the Court of St. James, and 
Paris, France. At the time he received this honor he was appointed by the 
Governor of Vermont as Commissioner to the World's Exposition and Fair 
at Crystal Palace, Hyde Park, London. In 1838-39 he was a member of 
the Vermont Legislature. 

The Silas Wright monument at Weybridge, Vt., was erected through the 
efforts of Mr. Jewett, and at the ceremony of the laying of the comer- 
stone he entertained at his house ex-President Martin Van Buren, General 
Wool, and many others of note. 

He was one of the first in the United States to give attention to improv- 
ing the breed of sheep. In 1850 he visited France and Spain and imported 
from those countries the best specimens of fine wool sheep that he could 
find, and it was larccelv due to his influence that the wool industrv ffrew to 
importance in New England. Subsequenth* he made many trips to Europe 
in the interest of the improvement of domestic animals in this country. 
While in England and on the Continent he received numerous medals for 
his fine stock at the various large expositions he attended. 

During the fifties he sold his interests in Vermont and moved westward 
to Racine, Wisconsin. In 1860 he made his first visit to California, bringing 
an importation of Merino sheep. After that, while never a permanent citi- 
:zen of California, his visits were frequent and prolonged. His name is 
prominently connected with the growth and development of Southern Cali- 
fornia. Here he was the first settler of the large to^Ti known as Bakersfield ; 
and at one time owned all the land where that city is located. He is also re- 
membered as being one of the original owners of the famous Comstock silver 
mine in Nevada. 

Mr. Jewett died in Santa Barbara, California, Oct. 30, 1894. His 
remains were sent east and buried in his native state.

a number of months, combining pleasure with study. Although

2911 ELAM RICHARDSON JEWETT (Othnier*", Elain"^', Ek-a- 
zer--% Eleazer"-, Jeremiah^% Joseph*, Edward^), was born in New Haven, Vt., 
Dec. 7, 1810; died in Buffalo, N. Y^, Jan. 10, 1887. From the " History of 
Buffalo, N. Y. : " Elam Jewett was taught to do farm work as soon as ho was 
old enough; his first employment was riding a horse in front of an ox-teani 
plow, when he was seven 3'ears old. He attended the common school in 
winter months and worked on the farm in summer, until he was thirteen years 
old, when he was apprenticed to the printer's trade. About that time 
Horace Greeley went from West Haven, Vt., to East Putney to learn the 
printer's art, in the office of the Northern Spectator. Elam Jewett, who 
was less than two months Greeley's senior, left New Haven in the same State 
to learn the same trade in the oflBce of the National Standard at MiddUbury, 
Vt. The former subsequently gained distinction in the nation's metro})olis, 
and the latter became eminent in the same profession in a great city at 
the other extremity of the Empire State. 

" The conditions of Elam's apprenticeship were to serve seven years 
for his board, and a compensation of $25.00 the first year, with an addi- 
tional $5.00 each year, and to have the benefit of six months' schooling 
during the seven years. The contract was faithfully kept by both parties', 
and young Jewett graduated a first-class printer at the age of twenty, 
but without much available capital. ^ 

" After a term of two months' attendance at the Mont])elicr .Academy 
he became one of the publishers of the Vermont State Journal, Mr. C. L. 
Knapp, afterwards member of Congress and editor of the Loicdl Citizni, 
being his associate. Shortly afterwards he assumed the puI)lication of the 
Middlehury Free Press, and carried on both papers. They were both nnti- 
Masonic, that question being then prominent in the politics of the country. 
All the financial assistance Mr. Jewett received from his father in his start in 
life was the loan of $35.00, which he was not required to repay. Three or 
four years' experience with these country papers gave Mr. Jewett a di-Mre 
for a larger field and greater opportunities. These were, at that tmio, 
naturally sought for in. the West: and for the purpose of suiting himself 
better he made a tour of observation througli New York and into Ohio in 
1838, going as far as Cleveland, and finally determined to establish himself 
in the book and stationery trade and the publication of a paper at Ohio City, 



603 Jewett Genealogy 

a name given to the settlement on the opposite side of the Cuyahoga river from 
Cleveland. He returned to his home in New England, packed and shipped 
his newspaper material, bought a stock of books and stationery in New Haven, 
Conn., and New York, and returned to Ohio City. A Mr. Babcock, of New 
Haven, from whom he purchased a portion of his stock of goods, accompanied 
him West to consult and advise with reference to the establishment of this 
new business. The ground was carefully looked over by the dealer and 
his young customer. The result of the financial crisis of 1837 still rested 
upon the business of the country ; the success of Ohio City was an uncer- 
tainty, and all things considered, Mr. Babcock thought the prospect any- 
thing but promising. It was therefore abandoned, Mr. Babcock agreeing 
to take the stock Mr. Jewett had purchased from him upon the payment of 
$250.00 for expenses already incurred. While in Cleveland Mr. Jewett 
strolled into a newspaper office as newspaper men naturally will, and inci- 
dentally picked up a Buffalo paper in which he read an advertisement an- 
nouncing that the Buffalo Daily Journal was for sale. He took passage on 
the first boat for that city and sought an interview with the advertiser. It 
was a daily paper with a circulation of about 600. A weekly edition was 
also printed under the name of the Patriot. 

" The paper was printed with a hand press. The city of Buffalo then 
had a population of 16,000. Mr. Jewett purchased the Journal establish- 
ment and became the proprietor of a daily and weekly newspaper and a pio- 
neer in Buffalo. There were but two papers in the city, the Journal and 
the Commercial Advertiser. Both were Whig papers, and the exciting pres- 
idential election of 1840 was approaching. Clay and Harrison were the 
talked-of candidates. The Journal supported the former and the Commer- 
cial Advertiser the latter. In the meantime the Journal was selected as the 
official paper of the city, an event that widened the breach between the two 
Whig organs. The proprietors of the Commercial were sorely grieved in 
having a newcomer to the city step in and carry off such a prize. At length 
a proposition was made to Mr. Jewett to unite the two papers, upon the plea 
that the field was too small for two papers of the same party, and he was 
advised to purchase the Commercial. Much as he desired to have his rival 
out of the way, and anxious as he was to have his paper benefited by such 
a union, Mr. Jewett was in no condition to purchase such an establishment. 

" The Commercial was owned by Messrs. H. A. and Guy H. Salisbury, 
and Dr. Thomas M. Foote. It was finally proposed that Mr. Jewett pur- 
chase the interest of the Salisburys, if in addition to certain other payments 
he would assume a mortgage upon the property of $1,200.00. The propo- 
sition was accepted and Mr. Jewett had no difficulty in finding twelve good 
friends who joined with him in a note, each becoming responsible for one 
hundred dollars. 

" Mr. Jewett paid the note at or before maturity from the profits of his 
business and without troubling his obliging indorsers. The consolidated 
paper was called The Commercial Advertiser and Journal, in order to pro- 



Eighth Generation 508 

tect the legality of unexpired advertisements, lor a while, and tlu- Journal 
was dropped and the Commercial Advertiser used only. The puljlishors wltc 

E. R. Jewett & Co., Dr. Thomas M. Foote being the company. 

" Mr. Jewett had a narrow escape from assassination in 1847. A midship- 
man by the name of Pollock, attached to the U. S. lake steamer " Michigan," 
taking exception to an article in the paper, came to the office and inquired 
of Mr. Jewett whether he was responsible for its publication, and being 
assured in the affinnative, Pollock drew a horse-pistol and deliberately fired 
at him. The weapon was loaded with large buckshot, two of which lodged 
midway in his wallet, filled with miscellaneous papers, oj)posite the groin 
and directly over the femoral artery, which would have been severed but for 
the wallet. Pollock was convicted and sent to prison for five years, hut 
was pardoned by Gov. Young before the completion of the sentence. In 
1850, at the solicitation of numerous friends of President Fillmore's admin- 
istration, Mr. Jewett assumed the management of the Albani/ State Regis- 
ter for nearly two years, traveling between Albany and Buffalo, chiefly by 
night trains, and attending to business alternateh' by day in the two cities, 

" In 1850 Messrs. Jewett and Foote formed a co-partnership with C. S. 

F. Thomas and S. H. Lathrop for the transaction of book jjind job work, 
in connection with the stationery business, and the concern did a large and 
profitable business. The desire of Messrs. Thomas and Lathrop to extend 
the business beyond what the other parties deemed justifiable led to a dissolu- 
tion in 1855, the former purchasing the interest of the latter, both in tlio 
newspaper and stationery and book business. The Commercial, under Mr. 
Jewett's administration, secured a national reputation for its excellent job 
printing and relief-line engraving. C. C. Bristol, in his history of Buffalo, 
published in 1865, says upon this subject: — 'The Commercial Advertiser 
printing house is now the oldest in that line in Buffalo. In its early days 
it gave a reputation to the town for the best printing in the land. It inau- 
gurated the celebrated Chromotypic style of which has grown the beautiful 
colored work now seen in the shape of cards and frame show bills for rad- 
roads, etc. 

" ' The relief Line Engraving establishment of IMessrs. E. H. Jewett ^• 
Co., for many years has furnished the fine-line engraving for the Patent 
Office reports, which, until Messrs. Jewett & Co. took the contract, was 
given out to numerous engraving establi-shments in the principal cities of 
the United States. It is now all done in this establishment, when- sufficient 
hands are employed to produce the engravings as fast as they are wanted. 
Copies of the work produced by Messrs. Jewett & Co. were subn.itted t.. the 
United States Comfnissioners of Patents, the Superintende.jt of Public 
Printing, the examiners in the Patent Oflice, and others, who all pronounrod 
it the handsomest and cleanest specimen of work ever submitted for inspec- 
tion. It is very creditable to us that Buff-alo has done some of the l>c«t 
work the Government ever had." 

"Mr. Jewett was a warm personal friend of the late President FiU-

more. The intimacy began upon Mr. Jewett's arrival in BuiFalo, and only 
terminated with the death of his associate. Upon the invitation of Mr. Fill- 
more, Messrs. Jewett and Foote accompanied him on a trip abroad in 1856, 
meeting in Paris and then visiting many points of interest in Europe. Cir- 
cumstances prevented Messrs. Fillmore and Foote from! going to the Holy 
Land, as was contemplated. Mr. Jewett joined a party of Americans 
bound thither and traveled through Palestine. At Cannes, in France, the 
summer residence of Lord Brougham, President Fillmore and companions 
were invited to the chateau of the English statesman and cordially wel- 
comed. At Rome they were given an audience by Pope Pius IX, 

" Soon after Mr. Jewett's return from abroad the panic of 1857 swept 
over the country, carrying down his former partners, who had extended 
and enlarged their business beyond what Messrs. Jewett and Foote would 
consent to do, which was the cause of the dissolution. They failed for 
$300,000, and made an assignmient for the benefit of their creditors, of whom 
Messrs. Jewett and Foote were the largest. The}' purchased the business 
of the concern from the assignee in order to protect their interest and thereby 
again became the publishers of the Commercial Advertiser, which they sold 
in 1862. 

" Mr. Jewett then engaged in the manufacture of envelopes, establishing 
the first envelope factory west of New York city, in which he Avas assisted 
by his nephew, E. M. Jewett, and carried on the stationery business for a 
while, and in 1864 he retired from active business and purchased the old 
Chapin farm on Main Street. He added to his purchase adjoining farms 
until he became the owner of 450 acres, which he proceeded to cultivate and 
improve in the most elaborate manner. When the Park was laid out about 
200 acres of his land was taken for park purposes, leaving about 250 acres, 
which is now one of the choicest and most attractive spots in the vicinity 
of Buffalo, and is known as Willow Lawn. 

" The farm is cultivated for the pleasure and amusement of the vener- 
able proprietor rather than for profit. Anything which promises comfort 
and enjoyment is indulged in, his aim seeming to be not only to minister to his 
own pleasure, but to the happiness of his host of kindred and friends as 
well. In his retirement he is surrounded with all the luxuries that can be 
desired. A well-selected librar}' and rare pictures grace his mansion, choice 
fruits and luscious vegetables abound in his well-kept garden, broad and 
extended lawns stretch out in all directions to please the eye, gently curving 
avenues, fringed with nicely trimmed hedges, invite strolls through their ser- 
pentine meanderings, graceful shade trees shut out the rays of the scorching 
sun, while unnumbered blossoms lend their enchanting fragrance to render 
this unequaled suburban retreat — ^Willow Lawn — the Val Ambrosia of Buf- 
falo. Mr. Jewett finds infinite pleasure in entertaining his friends and 
acquaintances at his country-like house. His social habits, genial dispo- 
sition, and generous nature are well suited to the means at his disposal for 
doing the honors of host.

" The veteran ex-printer, ex-publisher and ex-editor is most fortunate 
in his circumstances and surroundings; but few men have better deserved 
by hard and honest work in their younger days the ease and comfort which 
Mr. Jewett enjoys in a hale and hearty age that is not old. 

"Mr. Jewett refers with just pride to his numerous ' boys,' as he calls 
those who have been in his employ and gone out to fight the battle of life 
successfully. Among these are W. F. Story, editor and proprietor of the 
Chicago Times; James N. Matthews, editor and proprietor of the Buffalo 
Express; S. P. Rounds, the present Govenimcnt Printer, and others in the 
newspaper profession, as well as some who have entered the pulpit or bi-en 
admitted to the bar. Mr. Jewett was married in 1838 to Miss CaroHne 
Wheeler, of his and her native town of New Haven, Vt. The vcnerul)le 
couple have not been blessed with living children. In religion Mr. Jewett 
is an Episcopalian, and in politics he is an ardent Republican. His admi- 
ration of Lincoln, the great apostle of Republicanism, is duly attested by un 
original painting b}' Sully, that graces his drawing-room. He has never 
been an office holder or an office seeker. He was elected Supervisor of the 
Twelfth ward a few years ago, much against his wish, but liaving been 
chosen he discharged the duties of the office faithfully and well."

the time, at the age of 12 years he commenced the support of himself, as 
well as assisting in the support of the family, driving a yoke of oxen in 
the construction of the Ohio Canal. He next entered the service of William 
Wing of Columbus, Ohio, in a general merchandise store in Baltimore, Ohio, 
and later the store of Avery and Fassett at Granville, Ohio, as a clerk. He 
afterwards entered the employ of the Granville Iron Furnace, and during 
part of his time with them drove a team through the State of Ohio, before

the railroads were built, delivering stove castings and hollow ware. His 
next change was to embark in the general merchandise business in Newark, 
Ohio, on his own account, which business prospered and later developed into 
a wholesale grocery business which he followed with success until the spring 
of 1870. During the Civil War, besides his grocery business, he represented 
the Adams Express Co., as its agent, and the Government as Dcputv Revenue 
Collector, Avhen the office was a very important one, taxes being collected on 
almost everything and frorti almost everybody, as well as a large revenue 
coming from! a distillery then operated in Newark. He also owned a coal- 
bank in Coalport, and the coal boats to carry the coal to Newark. At this 
time he had the contract to furnish the recruiting camps in Ohio atul the 
Confederate prison at Johnson's Island Avith provisions and supplies. 

In 1870, he with five others, bought the Newark Rolling Mills, which 
he managed until steel rails took the place of iron. He then entered the

Governor of Maryland. After his admission to the bar, lu- went to St. 
Clairsville, Ohio, in 1838, where he formed a law partnership with Isaac 
Eaton, who subsequently became a prominent lawyer of Kansas and a nu-m- 
ber of the Democratic National Committee. 

About 1850 he removed to Zanesville, Ohio, whore he formed a hiw 
partnership with the Hon. John O'Neill, ISIember of Congress. He wa« a 
presidential elector in 1852, United States District Attonu-y for the South- 
ern District of Ohio in 1853, State Senator in 1853, Pres.d.nt of the Munk 
ingum County branch of the Ohio State Bank in 1852. This bnnk pn,M-d 
triumphantly through the panic of 1857. In 1855 he was clrcte<l a D.rrctor 
of the Central Ohio Railroad, and in 1857 was elected its President nnd 

Receiver 

When a member of the Ohio State Senate he took the position that nn 



516 Jewett Genealogy 

adjourned session of the Legislature was an evasion of the State Constitu- 
tion, and maintained his point with such vigor that that Legislature has the 
record of being the only one assembled under the new Constitution, which 
has not held an adjourned session. Subsequently he became a member of 
the lower house of the same body which, following precedent, did hold an 
adjourned session. For the protection of his constituents, Mr. Jewett at- 
tended the session, but refused to receive any compensation for his attend- 
ance, adhering to his position that the session was contrary to the spirit 
of the Constitution. In I860, being nominated for Congress by the Demo- 
crats of the Zanesville district, then heavily Republican, he failed of election 
by only 60 votes, although the rest of the ticket was defeated by majorities 
varying from 1200 to 1500. 

In 1861 he was the Democratic nominee for Governor of the State. 
On account of the impending war the ticket was foredoomed to defeat, 
but the purpose of his candidacy was accomplished and the threatened dis- 
ruption of the party was averted. Being a war Democrat, he would not 
accept the nomination on the platform laid down by the State Convention, 
for the reason that it did not support the war. He wrote two lettters 
to the State Committee, one declining the nomination for Governor upon 
the platform of the Convention and the other accepting it upon a platform 
of his own, which gave a vigorous support to the war. The Committee 
accepted his platform, and he ran largely ahead of his ticket. 

Governor Todd, his successful opponent in the Gubernatorial race, ap- 
pointed him a commissioner to canvass the State and work up public senti- 
ment for a vigorous prosecution of the war. During the war he was offered 
a commission as General in the army, which he declined, believing that his 
experience in railroad matters offered greater opportunities for service in 
the solution of difficulties incident to the transportation of troops and 
supplies; a conclusion justified by the numerous times his advice was sought 
by the Government upon these points. In 1863 he was given a further 
proof of the confidence and respect of his party by receiving the full Demo- 
cratic vote of the Ohio Legislature in the election which resulted in sending 
" Old Ben " Wade to the United States Senate. 

About this time he was a member of the Syndicate that built the Kan- 
sas Pacific & Midland Pacific Railroads, now parts of the Union Pacific 
Railroad. In 1869 he was elected President of the Little Miami, the Colum- 
bus & Xenia and the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley Railroads, and Vice 
President of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad, and in 1871 
General Counsel of the Pennsylvania Co. In 1870 he was nominated for 
Congress in the Seventh District, but was defeated by Samuel Shellabarger. 
He shortly afterwards changed his residence to the capital of the State, 
Columbus, where, in 1872, he was elected to Congress for the Twelfth Dis- 
trict. In 1873 he was elected President of the Erie Railroad under a ten- 
years contract and removed to New York City. He was prominently talked 
of for the Presidential nomination on the Democratic ticket in 1880. 

It does not seem fitting that the most important work of his life, the 



Eighth Generation ,517 

rehabilitation of the Erie Railroad, should be passed over without more 
extended comment. The items which follow are for the most part cxtnicted 
verbatim from an article on " The Railroad Men of America " publishid in 
the " Magazine of Western History," Vol. IX., No. 1, for November, 18HH. 
" Its immiense capital stock (that of the Erie Railroad) offering investors 
no dividend, fell a prize to foreign speculators and proxy peddlers. • • • 
In 1874 the Company had just escaped from a government of riuik scoundn-l- 
ism. * * * It was dominated for the moment by James Mclk-nry, a reck- 
less international swindler. * * * After eviscerating the Atlantic and 
Great Western Co., he had bound its carcass on the back of the Erie, and 
was at the time busied with a gang of London plunderers in selling twenty- 
five millions of Erie bonds and accounting for less than half of their par 
value. Wholly unaware, when he took control, of these difficult conditions 
and disastrous complications, Mr. Jewett faced them resolutely when re- 
vealed. He shook off the Great Western incubus and took McHenry by tlic 
throat, throwing him and his confederates into the English Courts, where, 
after some years, judgments were rendered against the chief for over a mil- 
lion and a half, while the accomplices gladly escaped exposure by payment 
of heavy sums in compromise. Reconstruction necessaril}' followed ; * * • 
but every step encountered vehement opposition, sustained openly in the 
Courts by the best legal talent, and covertly by slanderous abuse in the 
press. It was life or death to McHenry, who found no tool too low, no 
practice too base to grasp at. When, after three years of desperate strug>;le, 
he retired defeated and the new corporation stood solidly founded, .Mr. 
Jewett had won an honorable name for courage, justice and power, among 
the great Railroad Managers of the Country. In spite of these discourage- 
ments (a war of rates, diflSculties in procuring extensions of the system, and 
the persistent unreasoning demands of English stock-holders for instant 
returns upon their investments) Mr. Jewett devoted himself, at the sacrifice 
of health and comfort, to the task he had assumed, until he had lift.-d the 
Erie Co. from bankruptcy and prostration to an equal rank with tlmt of 
any of the great corporations of the country; and after five years of h\% 
presidency, the market price of the Company's new bonds had doubled; 
its common stock had risen from eleven to fifty; its preferred stock had 
earned three dividends, and its gross revenue had grown from less than sixteen 
millions in 1869 to nearly twenty-three millions in 1883. 

During the prosecution of the McHenry case Mr. Jcwctt's life »«• 
threatened more than once. He was offered large bribes to discontmue 
their prosecution, and upon his determined refusal to interfere. McHenry 
and his associates had recourse to desperate criminal measures, all of which 
were fortunately thwarted. Mr. Jewett was notified by the pohce author.t.cti 
that it was unsafe for him to venture out of doors after dark, and thoy 
advised that the shutters of his residence be closed at n.giit so that even h.i 
shadow might not be seen outside; otherwise they would not be rcvspons.ble 

for the results. • i . » 

As a single specimen of his acutencss and busmess foresight .t wnj 



618 Jewett Genealogy 

be mentioned that at a mass meeting held in Chickering Hall in 1883, to 
discuss the project of holding a World's Fair in New York, at which he 
was called on to preside, he made an address upon the natural advantages 
of that city which contained the argument upon which the now famous 
" rule of differentials " was based. The New York Commercial of Aug. 1, 
1898, in commenting upon an article shortly before published in the Phila- 
delphia Press, referring to his speech on that occasion, editorially quotes as 
follows: "The argument (Mr. Jewett's) so greatly impressed the railway 
managers and was found by Commodore Vanderbilt himself to be so un- 
answerable, that it was agreed that there should be some arbitrary compensa- 
tion for the natural advantages New York had secured, taking the form of 
better rates for breadstuffs to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other ports than 
could be obtained for like shipments to Europe by way of the harbor of New 
York." 

In 1884, Mr. Jewett retired from active business, at the expiration of 
his contract with the Erie Railroad, to the old place in Harford Co., Md., 
where he spent a large portion of the remaining years of his life. He died 
at the Bon Air Hotel, Augusta, Ga., March 6, 1898. At the time of his 
death, the comments upon him, in addition to giving a history of his career, 
were substantially in the language of the editorial of the Chattanooga, 
Tenn., Times, as follows: " The death of Hon. Hugh. J. Jewett at Augusta, 
Ga., on Monday last, removed a man of marked force and great usefulness 
to his country. 

" He was United States District Attorney, Bank President, Railroad 
President and leading lawyer in a section of the state where good lawyers 
were no rarity. He was sent to Congress which he left to accept the Presi- 
dency of the Erie Railroad, the worst looted railroad on the continent, one 
that had been the plaything of knaves for a quarter of a century. His 
task was Herculean, but he was measurably successful. He left an ample 
estate and an unsullied name. He was never even suspected of the wrecking 
methods that were disgracefully common among railroad attorneys and 
financiers during his career in that department. * * * * 

" He was President and Director of many other railroads and financial 
institutions during the course of his active business life. He was a patron 
of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and a member of many 
societies and clubs. His sympathy with the distressed prompted many a 
deed, most of which will never be known."

who was bom in Perrysville, Ind., Dec. 3, 1837, daughter of Benjamin and 
Prudence (Nash) Turman. Shortly after his birth Mr. Jewett's parents 
moved to a farm near Kendall, N. Y. When a young man Mr. Jewett started 
on the migration which took him across the continent, following closely the 
earliest settlers and being among the first settlers of the communities in which 
he has lived. The first place he located was in Leavenworth Co., Territory 
of Kansas, and he sufficiently impressed himself upon the people among whom 
he lived, that the neighborhood, church and school there, has been for years, 
called Jewett. He belonged to the Kansas Militia during the Civil War, 
and saw all the horrors of border warfare, and was within a few miles of 
Lawrence when Quantrell sacked the town. He held many minor official 
positions, among which was County C-ommissioner, always with credit to 
himself. Having seen Kansas admitted to the Union, the desire to be on 
the frontier impelled him to move to the Territory of Washington in 1884, 
where he located upon his present fine stock ranch which he conducted until 
his increasing years compelled him to retire, and he has since lived in the 
city of Pomeroy.

3247 PROF. MILO PARKER JEWETT, LL.D. (Calvin'«^% 

Daniel'*'^, Benjamin"®^, Benjamin^^, Nehemiah^^, Joseph^, Edward^), was bom 

in St. Johnsbury, Vt., April 27, 1808. He married Sept. 17, 1833, Jane 

Augusta Russell, daughter of Hon. Moor Russell, of Plymouth, N. H. She 

•died April 5, 1889. Prof. Jewett died in Milwaukee, Wis., June 9, 1882. 

From the Milwaukee Republican-Sentinel of June 19, 1882: "Prof. 
Milo P. Jewett was a native of St. Johnsbury, Vt. His father, an eminent 
physician, was a man of literary tastes, possessing a valuable collection of 
books, the reading of which had a great influence in moulding the character 
of his son. His mother, a highly accomplished lady, was educated at the 
Female Academy at Canterbury, Conn., under the direction of her relative, 
John Adams, afterwards the distinguished principal of Phillips Academy 
at Andover, Mass. Prof. Jewett received his preparatory education at Brad- 
ford, Vt., Academy, and in 1828 graduated from Dartmouth College. He 
spent the next year as principal in Holmes' Academy, at Plymouth, N. H., 
employing a part of the time as a law student in the office of Hon. Josiah 
Quincy at Rumne\% N. H. Abandoning the law in 1830, he remained three 
years in the Andover Theological Seminary. Having spent his winter va- 
cations, during his college course, in teaching school, he had gained a reputa- 
tion as a successful instructor ; and upon the invitation of Josiah Holbrook, 
of Boston, founder of the lyceum system, he spent his vacations during his 
theological course in lecturing on common schools, in New Hampshire, 
Massachusetts, and Connecticut. His work produced the happiest results. 
His addresses on these subjects are believed to have been the first 
of a popular nature delivered in the United States, and such was the interest 
taken in them, that wherever he went, parents and children alike flocked to 
hear them. Through J. Orville Taylor, a fellow student of Prof. Jewett, 
who became interested in the matter, a movement was inaugurated in New 
York City that resulted in the present common school system in the Empire 
State. Such had been Mr. Jewett's success in teaching that he resolved to 
follow it as a profession, instead of entering the ministry ; and accordingly, 
before graduating from the Theological Seminary, he accepted an appoint- 
ment as one of the first professors in Marietta College, Ohio. Before enter- 
ing upon his duties he spent several months among the Congregational 
churches of New England, soliciting college funds, basing his plea upon 
* the perils which threaten our civil and religious liberties from the progress 
of Roman Catholicism in the Mississippi Valley,' being the first to sound 
the alarm in a series of addresses. 



Eighth Gekebation 509 

" Prof. Jewett entered upon his work in Marietta Collojfe in IM^*. In 
the autumn of 1835 or 36, at the first State educational convention of Ohio, 
at Cincinnati, he, with Prof. Calvin E. Stowe and William Ixn»iii, wore ap- 
pointed a committee to urge upon the legislature the estal)li>lnnfnt of a new 
common school system. They were not only successful in their untlrr* -^ ■• '. 
but also procured appropriations sending Prof. Stowi- to Europe to . 
o«ate the Prussian school system. His report awakened univcmal intfrwt, 
and led to Horace Mann's famous mission, with its grand results. A rhnngc 
of views on baptism led Prof. Jewett to resign his position in .Marietta C'ol- 
leo-e, and in January, 1839, he established the Jiidson Female Institute nt 
Marion, Ala. This soon became the most fiourishing institution in tin- South- 
west, comprising among its pupils daughters of wealthy j)lantirs in Ala- 
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, and Texas. In connection «itli hi« 
school he published ' The Alabama Baptist,' the still ])ul)lishfd state orj^an 
of that denomination. In the summer of 1855, leaving his school in a pros- 
perous condition, and taking such of his servants as accepted their fret-aom. 
he returned to the North, receiving from pupils and patrons flattering token* 
of confidence and affection. In the following autunm he purchased the Col- 
lege Hill Seminary, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., entering upon intimat.- and 
confidential relations with Matthew Vassar, Sr. Finding him wealthy, ch.1.1- 
less, and ambitious to perpetuate his name, Prof. Jewett suggcstiti t<. him 
the idea of a college that should be for young women what \ ale and Har- 
vard are to young men. As a result of this suggestion, Mr. Vassar rcvok«l 
his will, which left his estate to create a hospital at Poughkeepsie, n-nolving 
to build and endow, during his lifetime, the proposed institution for vounK 
ladles. Thus ' Vassar College ' came into existence, being .ncorporat«l in 
1861, and was the only endowed institution for young ladies m the worl.J. 
Prof. Jewett was the trusted counselor and inspirer of Mr. ^assar m the 
noble work, and planned and organized the college, being chosc-n it. fir.t 
president. In April, 1862, at the trustees' request, he visited Euro|H.. .in-nd^

1875, ' The Baptist Centennial,' an address to the Baptist Church of Wis-

" Politicall}-, he was formerly a Whig, but was afterwards identified 
with the Republican party. 

" For many 3-ears Prof. Jewett was a leading spirit in the Milwaukee 
College, which was benefited beyond compute by his advanced views and 
keen interest. At the last annual meeting he resigned the presidency' of the 
Board of Trustees, owing to his growing feebleness. 

" Most citizens will remember the fine, benevolent face of the venerable 
Professor. His mind was always bent upon philanthropic enterprises. Men- 
tall}^ he was clear, vigorous and excellently trained. It may be said of 
his life that it was pre-eminently useful. In his social and business relations 
life had fine ideals, and his energy, learning and practical sense enabled him 
to make fitting application of his greatest theories." 

MEMORIAL P0E:M 

BY R. W^ WRIGHT, ESQ. 
Read at the Service in the First Baptist Church, Milwaukee, June 18, 1882. 

A noble heart has ceased to beat, 

A manly form lies struck to Enrth; 
All prostrate at Death's leaden feet 

Are honor, virtue, truth and worth; 
A life we learned to truly prize, 

Because so nobly crowned with years, 
Is passed forever — and our eyes, 

Oh, how they fill with tears. 

It was but yesterday he stood 

A chief among the chiefs of Earth, 
"With heart and soul and mind imbued 

With thoughts that claim high honor's birth; 
"Whose aim was honor's highest prize, 

Which no Calumnious breath can reach, 
So peerless it challenges 

The world's approving speech. 

To honor bound by truth sincere, 

One constant aim inspired his breast, 
To nurse no hate, to feel no fear. 

And, friendship tried, its truth attest; 
All falsehood, in his soul abhorred, 

Shrank from his presence where he sate. 
As well around the festive board 

As in the halls of State. 

A native valor stamped his mind, 

A conscious sense of worth his heart: 
High thoughts to noble manhood joined, 

Their bravest powers to him impart; 



Eighth Gekeeatiox jgi 

While Fame, well pleased to l)e hih guid«?, 

Directs through rugged toil his feet. 
And points the way, herself beside. 

Where honor holds his scat. 

Not his the stormy war's career, 

Xor the red battlefield to ride: 
But the far higher, nobler sphere. 

To turn the woes of life aside: 
To heed the Master's gracious vcice. 

To go from door to door. 
And, with the All-giver's gifts, rejoice 

To find the hungry poor. 

It is from loving muse I crave 

A chaplet worthy of his name, 
A wreath to crown his fresh-turfed grave. 

And leave xmtarnished all his fame, 
Oh, for a higher manhood's goal 

His regal virtues still to wear, 
And his nobility of soul 

To crown the world's career.
